😂
Goshhhhh, it just doesn’t make sense!
He is sort of a hero 🦸🏽
The Smiley face killers Yo…🕴🏼
Yup. That’s why I’m thinking.
@sad romantic Only due to the victim being A young male leaving A bar at late night… usually they’re white and I believe on A few occasions female? Either way serial killers that are smart and never been caught change up routine, so ones in an organization of serial killers…no doubt A sign of them. If there is A smiley face nearby the scene at all…then yuuuuup 👍👍🕴️
How the duck a kid that young got 20k in his bank account?
I was thinking the same thing !!
What do you mean? It’s not hard. You start working at 16, 17, your parents pay most of/all of your bills for you for a few years, boom. $20,000 / 40 hours / 52 weeks = $9.61 per hour. Ignoring taxes. He likely worked a lot and didn’t spend much, had a job paying about $12 an hour.
Wealthy parents, high paying job, who knows????
Maybe he has saved money for a few yrs,maybe parents have money ,or maybe he just inherited some money ,who cares not the point
Amazing how quick they are to label this a hate crime but when a “trans” whose manifesto targeted specific ppl and kills 3 kids and 3 adults in a Christian school, the motive is unclear?
SMH.
Actually they said they didn’t think it was a hate crime ,but I guess u didn’t hear that part of the story
Last 5 mass shooting – mentally struggling trrra nns folks. No reporting of that.
Blue cities love these migrant murderers and thieves.
In hell’s kitchen…
Is this Gordon Ramsey bar?
BLACK LIVES MATTER LOL😅
I don’t support gays and trans but killing them is to far
Dude got 20k holy I have like 2k in my account
Why now he should of had a no cash bond .
Law & Order irl
George Thorogood – I Drink Alone
That song helped me to avoid all kinds of trouble. If you drink outside your home there’s a whole laundry list of bad things that can happen. I know because I have experienced a good bit of them.
Get screened for alcoholism
@nazi hunter because you assume that I drink in excess? Well, you’re RIGHT! 😂
Drinking alone is not healthy in any way lol
@Biggie Smalls I never drink alone. I always have my friends Johnnie Walker and Jack Daniels with me. Sometimes they even bring a few of those white Russians with them too. They’re awesome guys.
@Biggie Smalls it is if you’re an introvert. Trust me.
And this isn’t a death penalty case WHY?
Because NY
NYC the poison apple mayor lier
It seems quite simple. Buy your own drink and never leave it unattended. Secondly never go home with a stranger…exchange phone numbers and meet up during the day in a public place
True. However when alcohol is involved people always make decisions they normally would never make sober. Not to mention sometimes getting caught in the moment and mixing it with alcohol while having a blast with your friends will lead to people letting their guard down, feeling like the found love that night or just last which is where they leave with strangers. It happens I’ve seen it as a bartender myself. Just got to be careful, responsible, and know for a fact the friends you do go out with are trustworthy and won’t leave you alone or making dumb decisions. : )
Ayo yall remember when cardi b was drugging and robbing men ?
Melanim compassion
13% doing 50% things.
Less than 7 percent.. The men
@Sandy Crotch Lol, the females are just as dangerous in their own way! Even the old ones…😬
Dont you mean MEN doing 95% things?
Maybe he should have been swallower
Sorry do not have any more sympathy for people like this as the Democrats are using these mental midgets to destroy the country
Democrats strike again.
Did they not watch Jeffrey Dahmer
I’m confused I thought the gays were so peaceful.
There are crazy idiotic gays and crazy idiotic straights. And then there’s the opposite. Common sense
Transgender transgender transgender transgender transgender transgender transgender transgender transgender transgender
So sad
He’ll be out in a day
Lmao
Hopefully Bragg doesn’t give them bond and a short sentence
He will. It’s his specialty.
You can’t date everyone. If they don’t want to hang out with you tomorrow, in bright daylight, in a coffee shop, don’t do it!
NY DA Alvin Bragg will make this a priority right after his misdemeanors cases are cleared.
These guys will be out bar hopping by the weekend.
If he would have killed an old Asian lady or Jew he would be free with zero bail. 😂
I thought the Pigs had arrested ANOTHER Black man for these charges.Any way you can demonize a Black man and plaster his face all over the news makes the white media feel SO empowered.
Conservatives love murdering people who they don’t agree with
😂😂😂😂
🤣
How frequently are women drugged in bars and it never makes the news….. 🧐
Women being drugged at bars gets reported in the news all the time. How else would u have learned that women get drugged frequently?
I thought they identified as women. Lots of testosterone being thrown around there.
This should not be considered a hate crime, if the Nashville shooting is not. Afterall, 6 lives were taken in the rampage. Thankfully, we have the Almighty, All Knowing God above that will take revenge. 6 entered heaven that day. 🙏🙂❤️
@Xhorxhe Etxeberria God knows His children. He loves His children. We are to love all and show the love of Christ through ourselves. It’s not about being more anything. It’s about how you treat others and where your heart stands.
@Xhorxhe Etxeberria The point is, all their eternities are sealed. You do not get another breath to change anything after you die. You cannot say it will not be today or tomorrow for only the Father knows when Jesus will return.
@Cathy L It’s not coming today. And tomorrow you can tell me if he came. No one is sealed. Jesus will judge dead and living. You don’t know what God will see as just or not. Don’t pretend to know what God will or won’t decide. The only thing we know is that we don’t know. But Scripture specifically says no one is going to Heaven until Jesus returns.
@Xhorxhe Etxeberria what religion do you consider yourself?
@Nick Thompson https://youtu.be/FU3aBjdMvu8
Leave this hero alone.
This why we don’t trust this community
What a shame that mom had to solve the crime herself because NYC’s finest can’t connect the dots themselves.
They could they just don’t feel like it
How terrible
So messed up. Glad these wicked men were stopped.
What is wrong with the LGBT mafia there to confused we can’t even drink in peace
groomers gotta groom
Usual suspects 🤷🏽♂️🤦🏽
He will get off so they can spend more time on Trump.
People laughed when Cardi B admitted to drugging guys and robbing them. NOW it’s a problem.
Gays 🫂
Lots of black men love gayness.
Facts. So many black dudes are DL. I know for a fact that they love white dudes too. They just won’t admit it.
You had m e until you started with the word “trend”. That’s just activism, not reporting. You love to spread fear.”🏳🌈🏳⚧🏳🌈🏳⚧” Are now symbols of hate.
And the DA will set this guy free, because you know he has to get Trump!
lidocaine exists in so many products over the counter tho :/ just sucks you would include that as a drug he shouldnt have had. your grandma wears lidocaine daily probably…
Sure New York actually arrested a real criminal….I dont believe it….not competent enough
What an evil and disturbing crime. Some humans are really just monsters in disguise.
W killer
Republicans & Marco Rubio are also going to blame Mexico for these Rats that distribute & consume Fentanyl in USA😂????
Lots of comments and no blame on Mexico or fentanyl!
NYC WILL JUST LET HIM OUT
YOU GET WHAT YOU VOTE FOR
He was saving up for a nose job
They never mentioned the why, on removing facial recognition.
If you use facial recognition or fingerprints to unlock your phone then anyone can unlock it if youre incapacitated. Police can unlock it too if you’re in custody. It should always be password protected.
It’s just so petty. A ring of 3 guys kills someone to split “nearly $20 thousand.” I hate the idea of putting a pricetag on someone’s life, but that they lost their lives for such little gain makes it so much more awful. Just meaningless.
Trust kills.
The last legitimate use of facial recognition software (just me & my phone) is now demonstrated to tempt robbery.
The Most High Yahuah’ earth will be cleansed. HalleluYah!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣 didnt fit their narrative this story will be gone soon as its not the white guy they hoped it was
Good riddance 🤣😁🤣🤣
Anyone surprised?
The DA will drop charges as they only prosecute conservatives
This is disgusting .. also these are straight guys
Stop leaving the bars with strangers, that’s what happens for being so promiscuous
Death penalty should be administered to any criminals who cause the death of an innocent point blank period.
So Bragg can downgrade the charge.
That’s crazy. #stopthekillings
Lock em up throw away the key
The wages of sin is death.
I am so disappointed with white man 😂😂😂 the suspect isn’t white
Seriously, just for future reference nobody cares ❤😅
U know it’s really low when you have to do something like this smh sorry for all the victims and families
Innocent until proven guilty
These white supremacists are getting out of hand!
blacks for trump
Set him free. He is doing work assigned by Christ!
They refuse to listen to preaching so scare them straight!
You people are racist. They are wonderful people who only came here to escape the violence.
So let me understand this NYC. Rated down to a misdemeanor and no bond.
I had some wild times in college.
What’s with the weird filter on the side pictures of this guy? An attempt to sensationalize what doesn’t need to be sensationalized? Y’all should have more confidence in your content. And PLEASE, don’t over report Trump’s BS. Just wait til the end of the day and tell us what happened in court. No OJ car chase shots.
This is vile
Shades of Dahmer😱
Please stop with this news please respect everyone’s families! With respect!
Why weren’t the suspects whyte
A good friend of mine is Lebanese. His grandfather was a chief magistrate in Lebanon. He said people like this guy upon conviction were immediately taken out back of the courthouse and hanged. It’s and entertaining fantasy that could happen to this scum.
Im glad I’m married. Dating now a days is risky. Married to my middle school sweetheart ❤
Drugging people for their money, like my mother would say, “anything to get out of working for a living, eh, buddy?”
And Jordan Taylor, law student missing since Jan and presumed to be a victim of this ‘alleged’ syndicate?
WHO CARES.
L
