#Alabama #Crime #Kidnapping
Carlee and Jussie Smollett should collaborate on a project, I would pay to see that. #Trump2024
Don’t forget to add Jennifer Carol Wilbanks and Sherri Papini!
@@LovelyDi92 Let’s keep it BLACK 🙂
Put this fraud in prison for life
Oh but she walk free with probation I wonder why that was everybody knows why she didn’t get prison time
If it was a white person they would be
If it was a white person they would be 😂
trump first.
@@tammygould2682Every one knows why.
Tawana Brawley don’t forget. She walks like she’s a model on the runway. Sashay like Rupaul. She is delusional thinking she is a hottie.
The toddler was never found😢
😂😂😂
Never was a toddler.
@@user-mb8qi3ky5q I pretty shure its a joke 😂 if she pled guilty I’m pretty shure that was made clear
@@MichaelWilliams-vb6wr are you ‘shure’
@@MichaelWilliams-vb6wr I’m sorry that was rude to correct your spelling. cheap shot. and not the point. Not a funny joke but a joke. 🙂
Similar to
Quinn Gray
Sherri Papini
After everyone was screeching racism that she wasn’t getting enough coverage in the media, now she’s getting her coverage.
She probably would have let a white man fry if she could have gotten away with it and avoided detection and kept the $50k (which she did keep from what I know)
Attention is a helluva drug …
So is the need to create continual “white man bad” narratives.
Where that baby at 😅😅 I new that trick was lieing from jump she the only one see a baby on the side of interstate Come on Man
Lol, Dumb@$$
Of course shes trolling comments because she has such a need for attention….needs therapy.
No should have gotten 5 yrs jail time no probation and 200k fine. She wouldn’t want attention much afterwards.
@@garysmith8098TOTALLY agree.
she’s busy reporting people.
Another turd in the world
This clip doesn’t explain why she decided to do this.
Attention
Apparently so. In another clip that went deeper into the details, Carlee Russell said she should have chosen a different “cry for help”.
Which Olsen twin is it now 🤔
More whack girl magic 😂😂😂😂😂
Tawana Brawley all over, Sharpton, heads up!
Such horrible disrespect to families who have actually suffered with missing, deceased family members
Ridiculous
They tried to blame racism as usual
It’s only women who do this kind of stuff looking for attention.
Fraud. Put her in jail forever.
people convicted of fraud deserve life in prison ?
All fraud people should go to jail.
She must start a reality show with Jussie Smollet
And Hunter and Joe lol
And Sherri Papini
😂😂😂😂😂 Don’t start I can’t take it…
Yes, just what America likes, a total looser on TV.❤😂😮😆🤔😵💫🤪😖
Man does she look old.
This black con artist should be thrown in prison for 20 years- stoking racial hate, among other things.
Probably raised by a single mom in the projects
Nope. Parents are together. Mom’s a real estate agent & pops is an insurance broker. Lots of young women have the misfortune of growing up in the projects w/single mothers, & they still don’t fake their own kidnappings.
This is not the first time people lied about being kidnapped. Remember Jennifer Wilbanks, the soon to be bride who faked her kidnapping because she was so stressed out over wedding plans and the cheating wife, Sherri Papini.
😂 I thought it was RACIST and SEXIST not to believe her!!??
Yeh, and she took full advantage of it. While REAL victims suffer.🤔😖
I remember this, I forgot about it until now. Did she lose her career? I think she was a doctor?
She was a nursing student.
@@horse_chick oh, I think she was with her ex BF in NC or some other state. But I remember this coming out sometime in the summer, cuz I was driving by Alabama to texas and I remember hearing this story on the radio news
@@itsascaryworld9788 yes, well, she and her family were in GA. Probably with the BF. Crazies!
Actually they went there that weekend after. She was in Hoover, AL when she committed the crime.
Hammy in allybammy
It is okay, I’m sure Biden will give her a cabinet position.😂
What a wonderful person in our society. I hope that she never has kids.
She probably already has several that we pay for, soon her kids will be sharing their culture with those unfortunate enough to be around them
So sad, but may be true.@@JooDawg
Why are blacks so hung up on being a victim and why do many of them go to lengths to fake it…?
SOUNDS LIKE SHE IS A DEMOCRAT! TREASONOUS IMAGINATIONS
100 hours lol 😂what did she do shoplift at Walgreens? If a white person did this they’d get 10 years.
Oh hush on the race card! The point is that this joke of a person was not served the justice she should have been, imo. However, thank GOD she was put out of nursing school! Can you imagine someone like her taking care of you? I would be scared to death!
Girl bye! If a white person did it charges wouldn’t have been filed! 🙄
Justice was not served
And gets no jail time! 😂
Horrible!! She needs to be in jail!!! Waste of resources!!
A black woman would never do that This Trump & those MAGAS fault
Whatever the max punishment of kidnapping is should be her sentence
Another lady got 18 months in prison for the same thing
Black privilege on full display
😂😂😂😂
I don’t understand how or why someone would do this.
Jussie Smollett 2.0
Since we ALL knew she was guilty, and she was aware we knew, her plea of NOT guilty last fall only served to make a bigger fool of her.
black lives matter 😮😢🎉😅😊
So do white lives, right?
She’s very pretty 😍
I can’t believe she’s not going to jail! What a joke.
Sentencing is way too lenient for such a depraved crime.
Judge felt that jail wasn’t a good use of resources…. We all know why she’s not going to jail.
well, i guess she got a little bit of that white priviledge.
She ruined her own life and image and I can’t imagine anyone wanting to do anything with her 😂 lady delusional
Black culture 😢
That black history just writes itself doesn’t it.
The officers are under great pressure and stress. Glad that C(K)ali admitted her mistake. God bless everyone involved with this event.
Don’t think of it as the community service but helping your communities.
In a way, Cali, you and I are on the same page. I serve the communities around the world.
Thank you again for your service and support.
God Bless America 🇺🇸
– the Son of God (AL+JIN)
Judge is a weak leftist. She should spend at least 3 years in prison plus restitution.
NOT pretty “little” liar…
See really had her parents on national television looking stupid….
How embarrassing for her
Unfortunately, i was legit kidnapped, more than once, and my daughter was a missing child, it was the worst times of my life and its nothing to cry wolf about. Its disrespectful to other victims and families and uts in bad form to be so needy
Typical Keisha behavior 🤷🏾♂️
Horrible, and first responders waste their time, and real victims suffer. This is justice, thanks, whoever is in charge of this horrible world.
So, she’s pleading guilty several months after she was already found guilty????!!!
Does this make any sense?
She Should have been Locked Up !
Wonder why she got off so easy.
Her (female) lawyer is thick in all the right places.
cattle rustling is still a crime
Sheri Papini in the state of California in 2016. Received 18 months in prison for doing something similar to what Carlee did but she had children. She wanted to get back with an ex boyfriend. Carlee should’ve met the same fate. All of you saying the sentence was fear or foolish you’re part of the problem you can barely hold women accountable for anything in this country it’s always an excuse
