Monkey stealing monkeys
Why is there always a Christian organisation behind so many criminal and terrorist acts in America? Of course they deny the facts, like Jan 6th was a peaceful rally, and the church had no idea the crack house on church property, immediately adjacent to the church itself was being used by an illegal animal trafficking operation.
Good. If only humans got justice so quickly.
Quit being hyperbolic.
Gee…”Davion”…no wonder on who he is and who his mom is…
I thought you were supposed to say the loud part quietly. Not just give the whole game away. Not like you’re going to face consequences for your hate speech. YouTube probably wouldn’t even care if you came right out & dropped a few hard R’s. Now go whine some more about “cancel culture” after your next racist dog whistle.
Don’t even ask about his father…lol
Usual suspect. His IQ was lower than his victims’.
Hopefully there will be no more monkey business from this criminal.
@sooprfrek12
How is it racist no worries I’ll wait.
@sooprfrek12
You know there’s white monkeys too Right..?
Why do you always feel so personally attacked when called a monkey..?
Are you a monkey..?
Better yet, no more caged monkeys. More humane ways to entertain the public.
@AdaAzodeh
Censorshiptube removed your comment.🙄
@sooprfrek12 Go find yourself a safe space to cry about it in cupcake.
I mean it’s the truth…monkey stealing monkeys. Just wanted a family reunion!😅
he seems to be enjoyin them doritos hes a nacho cheese man
Free the animals.
Which ones?
@Salty Pureblood The people of Dallas.
dang they even interviewed one of the monkeys at 0:15!
just a joke
So where are the animals
cruelty! poor animals.
no way he took care of the animals properly. and if he killed the vulture.. let the Vultures fix his gizzard!
Most animals caged up in our zoos, wish they were dead. Free them all
But it’s not cruel to imprison them? Got it. Makes sense.😏
This story is a song…
Poetry absolutely Poetry.
🙈🙉🙊
What chu talkin bout Willis?
A monkey gets caught stealing monkeys 😂
Put a thousand watts in the fence durning closed hours and I bet he won’t be cutting any more fences
Is there nothing they won’t try to steal?? 🙄
Who’s they?
Roringu is a bot
Who’s they hello 👋🏾
They won’t steal work boots, or Father’s Day cards.
@Resident Of The Abyss or a job application!
He was a good boy. Wanted to be a b ain surgeon I’m sure
@Isrulius like I said Y’all have done Thee Worst to certain people and animals and anything else Y’all come in contact with.
@Isrulius oweh*
@Swany King Give me an example. You say this like you have firsthand knowledge. What worse things have “we” done? If you can’t give an example then you have none and everything you’re saying is BS
@Mon ica ah yes
@Swany King lmfao you don’t have an answer.
Test him for monkeypox
serial killer. put him down
He just wanted friends
You misspelled relatives*
@Justincasey_Grabbederpussy na I keep limits to what I say on the internet
@James ALLEN I used to be scared. Then I made like eleventeen backup accounts lol.
The church didn’t know who was in their property?
Huh?
HuHhhHhH?
Funny what people steal these days… monkey? How do you even feed it?
Bananas
I’m betting that it was eating bananas, watermelon, and fried chicken.
@Justincasey_Grabbederpussy smh
Stealing monkeys?
Must of Been the BLM leader.
It would be awesome if he was caught by a van full of teenagers and a talking dog.
Maybe he wanted to spank the monkey
HE NEEDS TO GO TO PRISON FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE ITS LIKE KIDNAPING KIDS.
Imagine being accused of stealing Dallas zoo monkeys.
Uhh they are PROPERTY of the zoo
@Somnus Waltz Yup……now imagine being accused of stealing Dallas zoo monkeys.
@AppNasty you’re treating it like a joke. The guy stole valuable property from a business. Just cuz he stole a couple small monkeys doesn’t make it any less serious
@Somnus Waltz not sure what you mean. I said “imagine being accused of stealing Dallas zoo monkeys.” Here, ill spell it out just to be sure this time. “Imagine being accused of stealing adult diapers.” Make more sense now? As in….imagine you are the one accused of stealing adult diapers. Like…thats a mark on you’re name….the guy who stole adult diapers. Please tell me you get it now.
@AppNasty you’re a master moron…
At least he knows where he came from
Bot
Explain please
He was just stopping by to pick up his relatives.
Funny and ignorant 😂 The fact is, Africans are the only race without the Neanderthal (monkey) gene
@Jayson Oweh <-- this lady has went through the entire comment section replying “bot” to every comment that offends her.😂 Go find yourself a safe space to cry in while we make fun of a monkey stealing monkeys! Oh wait…I guess I’m a bot too huh? What a fragile thing you must be.😏😅
So why you in the slammer???🤨*
I..I stole a monkey….
Those or monkeys were probably so scared. Terrible.
Momentary freedom. Caged for life for our entertainment. Sad
Idk the monkey that stole them must’ve been pretty brave!
The racism in this comment section is astounding
You don’t see white dudes stealing monkeys….give us a break. Lol
Yet it’s literally appropriate
Truth hurts
Exactly what i said
He took the monkeys home in a barrel
🤣😂🤣
Or he lured them with a bouncy bed
@dan farris I used to tell my 4 kids that when they were little . 4 little monkeys jumping on the bed 🤣😂🤣😂
Them blacks steal anything, why steal ??
“I would have gotten away with it if it hadn’t been for those meddling kids!” – Davion Irvin
Typical
It takes a real piece of 💩 to steal from a Zoo💯
He should have set them all free right? Maybe not the wild cats yet, if they have any.
A monkey stole two monkeys 🐒
This is bananas 🤣😂
My sun ☀️ is getting brighter outside… how y’all gone survive ⚡️🔥🔥🦆🍌
??
Let him spend a free night in the lion’s den !!!!!!!
Wow, this zoo needs to shut down…
What corners did they cut building this, that no other zoo did? Why wasn’t he banned after the incident with the vulture? Why was he allowed back in there to even steal the monkey?
At the beginning of covid I remember seeing a video of a bunch of kids driving around with a monkey in the car.. did they ever get that one back?
Well they just made the connection that it was probably him with the other animal issues.. they are thinking he may be connected with the vulture incident but not so sure yet.. follow the story to get most of your questions answered
Caged monkeys.. wild cats, very sad. Zoos are unnecessary, and should all be closed.
Just imagine being in a cell with this weirdo, and that’s me putting it lightly too. 🫣🙄😅
Plenty of them in S. Dallas 🤣
Imagine that, a monkey stealing monkeys. 6 to 1 odds says that he lured them with bananas… that he was eating.
Thank God they arrested this creepy kid
Y’all really got nothing better to do lol
It’s a real shame that these animals had to either die, or be so severely distressed before they FINALLY figured out what this knucklehead was doing. And the fact that he was caught trying to get into yet another area, or at least tried to get the information about the animals IN that area. I mean REALLY? Clearly he was going to try and sell them. If you look up the words “Stupid Criminal” in the dictionary, there is a picture of this dummy right there.
I mean SERIOUSLY? Going to jail, probably for quite awhile, and for what? How are some folks able to even exist in the world?
A lot of ignorant comments here. Most people seem to be unaware that, people of African descent are the only race without the Ape gene.
He said, slavery is over, he was freeing mom and dad
I mean… those little monkeys are pretty cute lol.
Any one else see Paul Sr. In the thumbnail ?
I have a feeling this guy is on the spectrum just because of the kind of obsessive strange theft and also how little they are saying about him normally people are crucified in the media before being tried legally.
Was there ever a report of them missing their animals?
Yes, all over the news
To obtain financial freedom, one must either be a business owner, an investor or both, generating passive income, particularly on a monthly basis.
Crypto is bringing a different revolution in the world economy, people who are optimistic investors earn consistently, others will just sit and watch!.
Is not advisable you trade with your IQ, Well I recommend Alex Meurer! He’s the people best teacher and also my mentor.
I think trading is easier with proper guidance, especially from a professional, it really help reduce the chances of running into losses. All thanks to expert Alex he changed my life, I was able to pay off my mortgage.
Please how do I start trading with Mr Alex Meurer?
What a creep!
It’s like it’s built into their DNA to take things that don’t belong to them !!!
“who” exactly?!
@Angel XXX monkeys.
Was he having relations with these animals?
Dallas zoo has to be more vigilant for thieves of color.
How ironic.
I knew this post would have many racist comments.. sad
It’s ironic, that a big monkey stole two little monkeys. Maybe it’s a child custody battle? Is Davion from Africa?
I love when on Dodo animals they show one animal adopting another animal. Same thing here only that the one 🐵 wanted to start its own troop w the 2 stolen ones
It’s very very dangerous to society for individuals to steal animals now these animals have curators feeding and essentially creating a life these animals do not know how to live in other way .. zoos are necessary now since society has wrecked the ecosystem cruelty is to take them out
He says he’d do it again. Can’t polish a 69 IQ.
