#FrenchBulldog #Shooting #Investigation
how much welfare money you think the killer got over their entire life?
What does it matter. We can’t punish the many for the actions of a few if you are hinting at ending welfare.
No body is safe anymore.
Heartbreaking. 🙏 Prayers
If only these prayers in the comments actually stopped crime.
Is the dog okay?
doubtful
Exactly. I care more about the dog too
@atkim122 that’s definitely not absolutely safe!
I so hope so!
Ban French bull dog breeding. It’s inhumane and cruel
Let’s see the video. Let me guess
The alleged shooter was described as a white male, 5-foot 3 inches tall with a swastika tattoo on his chin and a confederate flag tattooed on his left arm.
@bubble jim Ok, Biden
People buying off the internet need to learn to meet in a cop shop parking lot not KFC. duh
Never buy or sell anything for cash without witnesses. If any ad says “bring cash” it’s likely a robbery set up. The last car I bought for cash I had the seller meet me at the bank in one of the offices. Initially he squawked as he didn’t want the transaction reported to the IRS but when I said no sale then he agreed.
Animals shouldn’t be sold. I’ve never bought an animal in my life. They’re not property.
@🌄 Sugar Xyler🪶 the Cherokee oh what so youve never bought an elephant?
It’s that imbecilic “no snitch” thug culture that’s infusing people’s consciousness in certain areas.
@James Kid ok this made me chuckle.
♥️🙏
Adopt pets. Poor man rip. Find that negative awful person.
Let’s hope the shooter is white so we can learn the ending to this SAS story. If it’s a black shooter… the story goes away fast
Shooter is not white
7 of the top 7 states with the highest homicide mortality rate? The Republican-led states of Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Missouri, Arkansas, South Carolina and Tennessee. 8 of the top 10 states with the highest poverty rate? The Republican-led states of Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, West Virginia, Alabama, Kentucky, South Carolina and Oklahoma.
You have something against “black belt” states? Why is my city Chicago, so dangerous, yet it’s a heavily Democrat city in a Democrat state… 🤔
Republicans living in your head rent-free.🤣🤣🤣
But it’s all Democrat run cities in those states
Democrats run Minneapolis, Chicago, Baltimore, New Orleans, and St Louis AND their police departments
St. Louis was just named the most unsafe city in America. Democrats run that city.
Chicago had 800 murders and 60 mass shootings (roughly 10% of all mass shootingsin America). Democrats 100% run that city
12 Democrat run cities broke their all time murder records 2 years in a row.
The Democrat cities have the most murders per Capita.
These people won’t tell what they saw. It’s no wonder that there is killings in these places.
Black people consider it “snitching…” 🙄
It is not always safe. I live right by Baltimore and the cops are a good portion of our crime and people that take to the police end up dead and we repeatedly find out that the cops call up the suspects and tell them who talked to the police and the witnesses get murdered.
We have perfectly good, healthy, young and decent people dropping dead and yet murderous filth like that keeps living. Unbelievable.
God bless that family and I hope the killer is caught
Yup that’s the new south, so sad
2 yrs ago i was responding to an ad car for sale,i ask the seller to me at police station nah, nah.meet me else where i show up with the cops.car was a stolen car plus he had a gun
I feel bad for this woman I hope the poor dog is OK ❤
“poor dog”
🤣
@ Devyn Selnes; There is no need to be so insensitive. You are very rude and mean spirited.
If you’re meeting a stranger for a sale transaction of any sort the police suggest you meet them inside the police station for your safety. You can’t get any safer than that!
Same w visitation of your child, although we always went inside McDonald’s for the swap.
Yep meet me at the police station
@Jose Bro
In most cases yes, unless the station is extremely small, theres usually a lobby area.
Lmfao yea right safe at a cop shop? 🤔🙄
I would never meet anyone at a police station, bank parking lots have cameras lol go there
They need to meet at police 🚔 station to be safe ..
Large transactions at the bank! Have the teller bless the cash and deposit it. Only way I will sell a car or truck
Bless the cash 🤣
We’re looking for a white suspect?
No
Cant even sell a dog, as a old white man without getting shot. Dont trust no one.
Whaaat???? What kind of monsters do this??? What kind of trash raises monsters like that?????!?!?
Exactly….what kind of trash thinks animals are for profit
@🌄 Sugar Xyler🪶 the Cherokee
if you claim to be Cherookee
why you don’t condemn your own nation ?
who trade horses for centuries ?
do you don’t
Exactly.
🤩 🤩
Three years of isolation, quarantines and Trump, and people will do any and every sick thing they can. Sedition and treasonous presidents along with a religion that’s already taken so much heat doesn’t help.
Try again. Your America is lawless and pro criminal. Biden and Obama and their party of evildoers caused that.
May he RIP and she find some peace and as much justice as possible. No one’s talking? Sickening.
Mam, your pain must be unbearable. But don’t put your hopes in a future that involves the ANIMAL that brutally killed your seventy-six year old, defenseless father into “doing the right thing.” The police, they are your best bet. And, Im betting they will catch him and soon! Theres a unique and unexplainable force that accompanies MONSTERS like this, and it has something to do with karma and their own self inflicted hate. WHAT A HORRIBLE HEARTLESS MAN that did this.
In Chicago they use babies for target practice, they them , beware
I always carry a gun
He’s a old guy. He think he’s going to be quicker on the draw than somebody young?
Lmfao how is that gonna help, if he pulls it out you bot knowing is worthless carrying it. What a stupid point to make🤣
The shooter must have been white.
He could have got a mutt for free. They live longer due to better genes and no inbreeding ✅
This is disgusting
Too many ghetto pos thugs walking… need a thug hunting season
This is fd up
Rite a sell sell what again. Knowing leaving folks homelss with careless human rights being neglected
We definitely ain’t getting the full story
Wouldn’t be surprised, frenchies cost thousands. People have killed for far less
🙏🏿..I smell a rat. Something even more twisted lives under this horrific event. I pray for peace and full disclosure ASAP.
Sounds Black 🤷♀️🤦♀️
Those witnesses are gutless. Like the sheriff notes, “What if it were YOUR family member?”
Where’s the description of the killer?
it would probably be racist
I think you know why they don’t want to talk about that
If it goes against the narrative, they will withhold the info. 💣🤮
I’m disgusted with our media
We know the description by their omission.
Seriously. I know KFC has cameras. Put that fool on blast. SMH.
Sad
Killed an elderly man for a dog. How crazy is the world coming to.
Nothing new. In the 90s it was expensive sneakers. Then video game consoles in the 2000s. Literally if anything can be flipped for money, these lowlifes don’t care what the item is. Partly to blame is society’s obsession with designer dogs with potential to make money for people who breed/sell them. And with so many “mutts” getting put down and given away for practically free at our shelters.
It’s ridiculous how much a dog like that can sell for now 😔 some people are willing to murder others for way less than $3500 😔
I would have put the animal down. It’s the right thing to do.
Killed someone over a fcking dog
KFC is a known black hangout
🤣
Lmfao. As a Black person, I agree
They really out here killing everybody and everybody
🇷🇺 Z
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Too many sick people in this world.
This y I don’t like NOBODY!!!! If god ask me or y’all !!! U better tell ya Moma u love them !!!
😤For A Dog.
The Demons Among Us 👿
Poor family and as for the witnesses I hope you sleep well at night how could you be so cowardly not to stand up for what’s right, and I pray that this never happens to your loved ones or you will feel the pain when no one helps you out,
That’s fukd up!! R.I.P Mr. And to the shooter: bet ur family is so proud of you, and u of urself, so show ur face big man with a gun. And to that cop, u r so right. When it happens to one of the non talkers, they wanna cry about no one talking. Stay safe people, and God Bless!! 🙏❤️✌️🤘😼💯
I have some French bull dogs for sale dm me
THE BEST COUNTRY ON EARTH!! MAGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People saw the shooting! But wont talk! LIBERALS OWNED BY GEORGE SOROS AND BILL GATES!! DANG. THEY HATE AMERIKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes we can safely assume that they are part of Biden and Obama’s America.
How is it a healthy way of life, knowing that you can be shot and killed going to school or the store?
America is literally a war zone.
It’s not nornal.
So WHO DID IT?? a gang of blacks. obviously! This is exactly what they do..smh
So sad… I hope they catch the guy. My condolences to his family.
So glad this breeder will no longer force these dogs to have puppies, tho it is a shame he was killed over a dog rather than just deciding to stop.
Shut up
U realize ur comment solved nothing and u sounded like ur victim blaming. How about sit down and email peta
sorry for the loss of the man
but also FECK anyone breeding merle frenchies
they are a defected dog.
they are not the standard.
you are getting a dog with genetic diseases.
tired of people not doing their research.
Sad but also fk dog breeders and the people who buy from them.
This is why you shouldn’t backyard breed dogs. Merle French bulldogs are extremely unhealthy and are only bred for money. R.I.P to him but I’m so tired of people unethically breeding dogs.
I am so sorry for your loss. Frenchies are precious animals and your dad is a precious man who loved them and I love him for that. Thank you for sharing. Sorry for your loss. We send our condolences to you and your family. Evita and Donald Kendall
Why would you sell your beloved dog to a stranger on the street.. to me it sounds like a backyard breaded kind of deal.. I feel bad that the man lost his life but I think more investigation needs to be done regarding this
Wtf is wrong w people? 8 guarantee he’s black .. bet
They must hit the Killer with the Death Penalty!
Absolutely. Completely callous and no regard for human life. Danger to the community.
🙏
That is horrible a person killed for a dog, they did not have to do that…they killed someone who mattered to his family and friends 💔 I hope they are caught!!
A man is dead and you’re worried about the stupid dog.
@bxi1547 believe it or not, human beings can do two things at once, such as sending condolences as well as best wishes for the stolen dog. Troll.
May this gentleman Rest in Peace and they find the person and pray the dog is safe too…..
Wait til the perpetrator pops up. I already have clues.
SMH
Absolutely ANYTHING over 500 dollars ita just best to meet at a Police Station.
Great idea
Hope every eyewitness is haunted by the visions of that day seeing a man’s life taken in vain. May they have no peace or comfort till they come forward. SMB
Don’t be sad you will see again soon and this time for ever have faith love and hope the flash is gone the soul is with who J. GOD want that soul to be with .
So terrible
So sad picking on the elderly thats extra jail time for seniors.
Prayers to his family & hope they find that pup it’s probably traumatized.🙏🏼💔
This is where we are today in this world…. A man’s LIFE for a dog!
No description of the killer? I guess it’s safe to assume the perp drives a charger/challenger wears Nike athletic apparel and a fondness for KFC.
Also the “no one is willing to come forward” is a dead giveaway.
Cleanse the country.
What was the race of the shooter?
I think we know.
Why? Over a dog…that’s just heartless and mind boggling!
My condolences 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I’m so sorry for you and your family’s loss 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This is Biden and Obama’s America. A lawless nation, dividend and filled with people who have callous disregard for human life. Shame on all supporters of this new world of pro criminal, lawless living.
Absolutely sickening!! Over a dog or anything u will reap what u done
Don’t sell ugly dogs to guys in Klan hoods …
Only a punk would shoot an old man, a woman, a child. He will be caught. Punished for being a coward, raised and hangs with cowards
Momma said Don’t talk to strangers. She is always Right. Thank you Mom
Sounds like typical monkey business to me
The guys a coward, for shooting a 76 yr old man. That’s why we need be armed , take that losers life !
That’s sad…..the shooter is a f*CKING coward .. so afraid of an old man that they had to shoot him to steal the dog …. criminals are so pathetic….and the bystanders …what can ya say… gutless
I live in L.A. I have the most beautiful French Bulldog exactly like the one in the video. Sucks I can’t take him out of my city. Anywhere in LA he’ll have eyes on him and sadly I’m ready to die for my dog
Hope that they don’t hurt the puppy and that your dad rest in peace 🙏
My granddaughters husband got robbed in Savannah Georgia trying to buy a Bassett Hound Puppy. It’s horrible
This world is not worth living for happy anymore! You will never know some sicko will end your precious life for something not worth it!!! 😢😢😢😮
RIP sorry for your dad I know how you’re feeling like someone taken my dad life too. 😢
Ffs the man was old the guy could have run away, my heart goes out to the family, probably drug motivated.
Heartbreaking. Just heartbreaking.
No other words.
It just not worth it no longer u just can’t trust people.
