#Georgia #University #Crime
Thank you Joe Biden. For letting millions of illegal immigrant gang members into the country.
Capital punishment state.
NBC spent more time protecting the identify of the suspect and his non citizenship to the US because it doesnt follow their narrative.
China Joe and Mayorkas are fully responsible and should be co-defendants.
The blood of this beautiful young lady is on the hands of miyokus Joe Biden and Obama they should be put in prison for treason
Killed by an illegal alien from Venezuela.
Blood is on the Democrats hands, especially those who voted for this!
USA 🇺🇸 California Bay Area / through out Bay Area cities! Illegal immigrants living in?

San Jose ca ; old Oakland road / Gish road ! GREAT AMERICA TOWING addition ORION PRIVATE SECURITY same road on Gish road huge lot for illegal food truck vendors and the warehouses surrounding that while perimeter-radar all illegals ! California needs a MASSIVE DEPORTATION
MAGA2024 #POTUS @RealDonaldJohnTrump #RealDinaldJohnTrump
Reshape America 🇺🇸 clean it up get rid of all GOVERNMENT drain it! Make America great 👍 strong 💪! Secure the border ! Protect American citizens at all cost! Not a dime to the weirdos !
Democrats are the failure and to blame ! Watch out for Sam liccardo from San Jose ca he is dirty and corrupt !
BIDENS BORDER patrol had him in 2022 in El paso and they illegally released him into the USA. 😔
Joe’s a murderer.
Thanks liberal voters
A “non resident” with an apartment? Background check? Unvetted with no clean bill of health? Thank goodness no human should be illegal right? Keep voting blue! Schiff – Fetterman 24? Newsome – Phillips? Harris – Kennedy? Those NBC new subscribers who claim to know everything are becoming very annoying to those who do.
Show the picture common don’t be shy
She looks like such a nice good young girl. Another great asset to our country snuffed out by the stupidity going on at our border. This seems like a weekly event now. The family should sue this administration for failure to uphold the law! This president is the biggest piece of 💩 we have ever had serve. He clearly has 0% respect for the citizens and Taxpayers.
His only motivation is to lie and deceive and keep power no matter the cost. It’s just a matter of time before there is some kind of major catastrophe from letting people in basically unchecked. You would think this would never happen after 9/11. Say what you want about Trump, or say what the media tells you, but he stopped illegals from dangerous countries. Just simple common sense!
Keep voting blue
22 million illegals in the last 5 years. Let that sink in.
Remember in November! Biden is the worst president in history,with Jimmy Carter close behind.
Venzuela for you guys thanks biden
Sure hope there is more of a follow up on this case not much information here .
That’s because he is an illegal alien. Turn on a real channel
why would that killer know her? of course it was a crime of opportunity like he said.
How about make crime illegal again or just let anyone come here.
we need a president and a vice president
NBC doesn’t mention he was in the country illegally. Lies by omission. NBC fails once again.
Hmm, the bigger news outlets really like to skimp on using the names and photos of suspects like this for some reason? 🤔
This beautiful young woman gone way too soon. My heart bleeds for her family . Her death is such a loss. I am sick of all these illegals harming our young people. And all the traffickers and abusive parents.
We are crumbling as a country having allowed this. But Riley lived a fuller life in her short years than most live in 70 years. Absolutely tragic.
The criminal did a bunch of crap in New York as well
Hope her family sues Biden. Insanity rules the land condolences to her family and friends
Biden’s America
It happened in Trump’s America as well.
How come NBC hasn’t called for Gov Kemp to be arrested and charged, along with Joke Bribe’n in this student’s death? Fani isn’t gonna do it. Detestable Kemp refused President TRUMP’s perfectly-legal request to have GA votes recounted and the illegal ‘mail-in’ fraudulent one’s rejected. We have a fraud as a POTUS too. Now, ANOTHER one of us is dead at the hands of the INVADERS these dark politicians are inflicting upon us. GA is the new West Virginny.
Murdered by Democratic policies.
The scary part is that this happens more often with illegal aliens than people know.. This exact same scenario has happened multiple times before. Laken wasn’t the first, and unfortunately, she won’t be thr last. Thanks a lot Biden!!!😢
I’m so happy we can say that we knew nothing about his past
Joe Biden and his supporters: YOU did this.
Great job protecting Americans vegetable biden and the dummycrat party!!
And you have democratic state leaders urging citizens to let immigrants like him to live at your house, this Joe Biden Administration is a joke and should be held accountable and arrested for treason and murder, crime was already bad now it absolutely insane with all these immigrants terrorizing our states…
Happening in Europe too, seems like we are having a repeat…
Can we all say thank you, Joe Biden all the Democrats and the people who vote Democrat this is what you voted for this is what you wanted and this is what you’re gonna get now you’re gonna be more more of this this is disgusting😊
Joe Biden needs to be held arrested and prosecuted and put in prison for these crimes
That is the blood on Joe Biden hands
Nope, Biden didnt make him murder her.
Notice nbc didn’t address the fact he came here through open boarder, they will not report this story because it doesn’t fit there narrative
Be clear, the suspect is an illegal immigrant.
Women walking or jogging cannot do this alone anymore with the prisons of Caracas and other cities emptied their prisons sending prisoners to Texas to cross into Biden’s open border. For years to come the streets of Blue cities and other Liberal areas will have crimes like this where illegals are concentrated. All the Woke students might rethink the Communist curriculum your taught to defend.
Has the main sleaze media reported on this or any other crimes, committed by illegals, not counting the crime of crossing the border illegally in the first place???
#Remember Kate Steinle 2015 #How Many More
Democratic policies caused this
I wonder if Kamala Harris will pay a visit to the parents of Laken Riley , and offer condolences ?
The Biden Administration tasked Kamala Harris to find the “root causes” of illegal immigration.
Remember this when you vote .
This blood os on the democraps hands especially Joe Biden
Demoncraps*
@@supriseimblack Yes not democrats that party is dead democraps and libterds both ANTI America
I’m claiming asylum from illegal aliens
NBC will not tell you this but the murder suspect is an illegal immigrant allowed into the country by Joe Biden in 2022.
why don’t liberals care about securing our border so that any and all immigrants can be fully vetted BEFORE they are allowed to enter our nation ? do they think they are doing anyone a favor by allowing human traffickers to exploit people ? by allowing criminals into our midst ? meanwhile millions across the globe have no chance to migrate to the USA as billions of dollars that could be spent on LEGAL immigration is instead spent on illegals and those boasting bogus asylum claims . No nation on earth allows this but the USA it is mind boggling !
Reply
Because they want more covid cases to enter the United States.
Also they’re not logical thinking people they’re just bleeding hearts
NBC doesn’t want to say this guy was here illegally.
For the 60 million that voted for corrupt Joe and the 20 million fake ballots this is on you.
Crossed the border illegally, assaulted a minor in New York, and now this. This blood is directly on democrat hands.
1) Bidens DHS for not deporting him immediately.
2) New York’s DA for not prosecuting him
3) Athens for being a sanctuary city and haboring a criminal
This is squarely on all yalls shoulders
People remember your second amendment always.
This is this is all pritzker fault and
Joe binem
Why dont you tell them a little more about the subject? Of course they wont, it doesnt fit “the message”
The illegal animals got her.
So sad. Every family in America that has lost a loved one caused by an illegal should sue Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Because ultimately, they’re the ones responsible. They’ve let these criminals come through the border.
You voted for this Democrats
I read the MSNBC reporting on this, and as a Georgia Democrat supporting Joe Biden, Stacey Abrams, and Fani Willis, I agree with the network THIS IS NOT A IMMIGRATION ISSUE, the blame is on L.H.R.. She and all young women should know better than to be out jogging by themselves.
Everyone should travel in packs and never alone now that Biden opened the border to the criminals from other countries… No one is safe in the USA now … Thanks Joe😢
Hey all lefties , don’t get too worked up . She is white and probably comes from a southern Republican family . It’s just collateral damage for the almighty vote harvesting , white replacement campaign . Wonder if Biden will call her parents ..
She’s actually a liberal college student
Everybody vote blue 🎉🎉🎉
The House GOP is stalling the border closer, not the Democrats.
The blood of this AMERICAN girl is on Boy Biden’s, Hillary’s, Pelosi’s, and the rest of the Democrook Party’s hands.
This just hurts my heart. Prayers for her family
https://youtu.be/GnJ_MXp96VI
Biden is a traitor and should be charged with treason. I am sick of this crap and sick of hearing Dems try and make excuses for it. STAND UP AND DO YOUR JOBS FOR THIS COUNTRY!
Suspect. It’s an illegal migrant!
Thanks Joe Biden
Funny, seems to be all Venezuelan illegals doing these crimes. This is Cuban immigrant crisis in 1980.
…..thanks to this administration, you can expect this to happen in a neighborhood near you….if not to you.
Be careful women. They are everywhere now, bussed in from the southern border.
bleedin balls is what killed her and and not your so called open border. By the way…. the border is not open.
Remember when all you Dems were so against building the wall? My how the tables have turned.. Sleepy Joe strikes again!
That was such a horrible crime against that young lady. They should sentence him to the max.
Illegal immigration again!
BIDEN BORDER CROSSSERS SYRIKE AGAIN HE WAS AN ILLEGAL WITH A BAD HISTORY.
I DON’T KNOW HOW ANY OF YOU IN WASHINGTON AREN’T HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR YOUR RECKLESS ACTIONS..LIBERALS DEMOCRATIC ARE TO BLAME.
Molly tibbetts was also a liberal
MOLLIE TIBBETS KILLED THE SAME WAY !!! Why didn’t that SOUND AN ALARM ???
MY REPUBLICANS sign the IMMIGRATION BILL SPEAKER JOHNSON…SIGN IT SPEAKER JOHNSON
Mollie tibbetts was also a liberal college college student…
The federal immigration laws are grossly ignored for an agenda. They could care less what happens to innocent American citizens.
So so sorry!!!! Biden has blood on his hands!!! 😡
Not rly his fault since he cant rly control people but somehow controls this country
One of many consequences of the Democrats Open Border policy. Completely preventable. Trump 2024
So tired of hearing, “This is not a left or right issue” or “This is not a political issue.” Yes it is. This is the result of Democrat policies. Open border policies are Democrat policies, think about that when you go vote.
Democrats caused this crap. NYC Judge and Da should held accountable along with the Biden Admin.
Keep Voting Blue an They Might Get You Too!!! 😮
why they dont say it clear, the murderer is Venezuelan
Biden’s America
She was killed by an illegal migrant. Innocent girl faced the brutal consequence of biden’s insane poliicy
are biden accessory to murder charges pending?
If you voted democrat this is what you wanted.
Where is sanctuary for Americans. We all have credible fear now.
As a retired federal law enforcement officer myself, my warning to America; arm yourselves. We have allowed millions of undocumented migrants into the country and every one of them committed their first crime by illegally crossing the border. Violent crime in South America is nothing new if you live there, it is rampant. But as these illegal migrants start migrating their way across the United States you are going to see waves of violent crime committed by illegal migrants as it filters into America’s small towns and bedroom communities. It doesn’t matter what party line you’re on, I’m an independent myself, but I’ve seen the numbers and I’ve seen the analysis, and these herds will start moving across the United States and short of staying overtaking many towns, they will. The small community of Hopkins Park Illinois is a very good example. These migrants have been known to take over unoccupied properties and make themselves at home, and the government has already proven to them that they will not be held accountable for their actions. I highly recommend that everyone who is able to get a concealed carry permit do so and familiarize yourself with wave to defend yourself, because I believe in the next couple of years you’re going to use it once or twice.
The family should sue the Biden administration because of his open boarder policy.
TRUMP WAS RIGHT!
These Democrats are voting in their own murder!!!!!!
Just remember Joe undid all trumps border policies, first day in office!
So why hasn’t Biden been arrested for accessory to murder? He had a hand in this murder
Technically, no, he doesn’t you can’t control people’s actions and that’s fact
If you love your children you will vote for Trump. Under Biden this will never stop because when the illegals are handed the right to vote 99.9% vote Democrap!
100% on the Biden Administration and those who voted to put him in office
Thanks biden
This country won’t be safe for anyone these people don’t care if they get sent to our prison they get free care from us don’t have to go back home to their prison probably not nice like ours he probably came from prison they are letting go murderers out sending them here our people have to suffer sorry for her family gonna be alot more our president thinks it’s good to let killers in great president
Georgia didn’t want trump voted biden in your fault to
So the Democrats let loose a bunch of wild animals and they start killing people. What do you think was going to happen?
If President Joe Biden had secured the border, this angel would be alive today.
CLOSE the border!! This is only going to get worse. God have mercy.
