Good sick F@@k !!!!
It shown woman to stop finding boyfriend on internet…
Police statement: we have taken the suspect into custody.
Police an hour later: ohh yeah forgot to mention he’s shot himself
The fact that he was in custody was the essential information. It meant that everyone can stop worrying about where he is. It is appropriate that the details have been left for a press event. That gives the officials time to interview everyone involved so as to get the story right.
Here is the recommended clip that say it :
https://youtu.be/Etpd87Kw9Ig
This happened way before it was reported. Someone in the comment section on another video sketched out all the details before the story became mainstream.
Coward
No loss.
He might be drug addict or devil cult? Lots of poor souls out-there…You see why ppl must waking up going church receive holy communion, and blessing…however, this is a 1 person crimes. Hoping those they committed crimes against horror policy must be treated and smoking out from their luxury houses, too…
Wrong guesses, have sacrificed human, animal nature to wot considered divine, gone 2 far, 2 place authority over nature is cause of alienation, anger, many don’t know even Y, exploited in loony directions
One less lunatic running around
I doubt it he killed himself with all that military style police!!
What a *sick weirdo.* Glad that he can’t hurt anymore people
How, exactly, does a dating app help a person evade the police?
Desperate women…
Easy, it transmits your exact location and they can honeypot you into meeting them.
Oh wait….
Sounds like a false flag to me. Idk why they would do that. Keep people distracted? Maybe thats reaching. Seems super easy to trace.
I was thinking get the person to meet up with you and then likely convince/threaten them to drop him somewhere else that he wants to go next.
@Cedric Bower Probably this
To potentially find a place to hide out
I thought Ben Foster was great in “3:10 to Yuma”.
Too bad he didn’t get the Tyre Nichols treatment
Nice name and pfp
Nah he needed that treatment as well as a nice long stay with n The Big House where the Bulls that run the tiers would deliver their special brand of justice daily the selfie was his only way out
So many tree jumping sexual preditors in Ore. Lots of creepers in those woods especially around the college campuses in Eugene and Portland. It’s the Rape-O State.
Coward
He obviously felt very guilty. Suicides happen.
Good. Hope he didn’t harm the dog.
O N E L E S S P I G O N T H E S T R E E T…..
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
OINK OINK OINK OINK OINK
Dude was a coward…..
Women are so desperate to go on dating app and carry them home same night. Yuck
Thank god.its so much easier to lie to the public when all the details fit the narrative the media demands
Well at least the system will not be making a hero out of him and the taxpayer will not have to house and feed him.
He put HIMSELF on a t-shirt with a BLICKY!! 👕💥🔫
No one will wear that t shirt.
Mans mom must have done something really traumatizing to him as a kid.
He made his choices nonetheless
Yeah, he went after week people like his mom did. Parents influence their kids. Alot more than people realize.
@Tom rogers Guess you knew his mom huh?
@Tom rogers how can it not, U might b lucky to have someone that will clue U in, otherwise it is really a fuked up situation, and there is no rea answers, still in dark age here
She was a terrible abusive mother
Looks like a proud boy!
Very proud
Why aren’t you reporting on Pfizer mutating the covid virus!!!!! Project Veritas ROCKS
Good. Justice served.
Glad he saved taxpayers a ton of money to house his sorry a$$
Dating apps are dangerous lots of cat fishing and lots of ex convicts
That’s great that’s one pervert we never have to worry about
Police did right by police standards.
Dead men cant tell tales.
Good because the crazy liberals in Oregon would’ve let him out in a few days or weeks when he would’ve started killing women.
My home town, haven’t been there in 20 years.
Another happy ending.
Did he torture himself first?
😊
A horrible story with a very happy ending.
Good ridence!
Good riddance yay!
And????

If he didn’t commit suicide he could have been out with no bail
Prayers go to the victim in hopes she will eventually recover physically. Though mentally, it will be with her for the rest of her life. 😔🙏
Lets Be Honest We All Remember This Record:-
https://youtu.be/_AOn5Vq4Xkc
Who knows how much he hurt that poor dog 😥
I want to hear at every broadcast about the classified documents Biden has/had. Morning, noon, and night. It was ok for Trump. Make it ok for Biden.
went out like a biotch
finally a little good news
We are in crisis Mental illness mode!!
Should of NEVER been out
Bad guy dead, I don’t need details.
Glad he removed himself from Earth….but I’m surprised the media isn’t making excuses for his crimes by saying the “mental illness” “mental health” phrase over and over again like they do for most criminals who’ve committed violent acts. It’s really odd how now days the media tries to make the public think certain violent criminals have a “mental illness” and so we should feel sorry for them….at the same time creeps like this who committed insane acts of torture and violence don’t get that “mental illness” label….when obviously something was very mental/wrong with him for doing this.
Save the poor small dog
Poggers
Good!!
did the cops kick him in the nutts to confirm that he is dead?
I thank this cowardly puke for saving the tax payers a round and leaving a open prison cell
For another sack of garbage.
He was right to be afraid. We’re not very nice to those who hurts & prey on women & children.
Just a normal day in Philadelphia or Chicago.
I wonder why this gets all the resources instead, are some lives worth more than others?
Fine by us, now we won’t have to listen to his lawyer’s lies and excuses as to why he was a sociopath. They should all go this way, that I’d turn my back for and let cops try not to screw it up for once.
cops are already messing it up for me.
He looks crazy
Nothing was lost.
Sorry ladies. I think someone bagged him.
Trump supporters are crazy
🙏
Well I hope he likes the torture down under
At least the people of Oregon won’t have to pay to prosecute this COWARD.
Y’all gonna get enough of these dam dating apps!
I like Steve. He should be promoted
I’ve met some dumb Benjamin’s before but this one makes me want to change my name! Peace
You lucky if you make it out of life alive…
Thankfully he wasn’t beaten to death by police.
Good work to the Police.
White guy watch the police say he had a bad day.
Victim mentality. Someone else gaining does not mean you must be losing. You’ve been lied to Chevelle, and I wish you well
@⚡INTERCEPTOR⚡ nope I’m always winning. 😂🤣😅😂when did I say I was the victim? When the other white boy killed Asians at the massage place what did the police say?”he had a bad day” FACT hurt huh?
Fitting end, liberal judge would likely just put him out on bail.
No klam mafia alffiya blackwood is not my wife
Dont gove one f about the klan nor the klan mafia
Glad he’s dead rhat girls brother and father dont need a murder charge ..
Good no trial👍
What a cowardly weak waste of a human.
No complaint about police brutality here ! It’s OK
coward
So much crime in USA what’s going on ? So dangerous in usa
You warn people about Oregon. It’s a terrible place with terrible addicts everywhere that gang up on any normal people. You can’t get out of any town in Oregon without falling off a steep embankment into a place you can’t crawl out of.
Good job Po-po!
Freed from jail so all of this could happen. Politicians heads need to roll. Same with the lawyers and judges.
I’m sorry the police took yo life can we protest for him too
This wrld sick they shot u then tried to save yo life to give u life in jail
So sorry to hear this condolences 🙏 ☹️
His poor victims. 💔
Dating apps provide a good hideout for evil people.
Please be careful who you allow in your life. Loneliness has a way of forcing us to get with anyone.
Ladies and gentlemen… please walk away from these dating apps.

What a disgusting little coward this piece of garbage was, he thought he was a big tough guy when he committed this crime, but when he was cornered he takes his own life. What a pathetic little weasel.maryfitz
Praying for familys. But dam it takes this to not have trump in your heads.
What a jerk
I saw that guy at an antifa children’s trans hour !
He was hiding in a puffy rainbow !!!!
