Poor, misunderstood Jason. Can’t keep him locked up – might get COVID for God’s sake.
“… he had arrest warrants for domestic violence, elder abuse, stalking, and violation of a protective order.”
An violation of a protective order, one of those all protecting pieces of paper.
Too bad Police couldn’t have caught up to him sooner.
Wonder if he was already on parole or probation ?
An since it’s so early in the year Richmond is probably ahead of antioch in number of Murders.
I’m sure he was an aspiring rapper and a father who loved his children.

“violation of a protective order” … what good was the protective order?
When do we stop giving horrible people unlimited chances at the expense of law abiding folks? We taxpayers are constantly victimized by these criminals, yet our money is taken to house and feed them. They never have to stay in jail to pay for their crimes. They are released with the scantest “good behavior” or because they “might catch COVID.” Repeat offenders offer nothing to society but pain. These type of people need to be put down. How do liberals live with the way they vote? It is incomprehensible.
“How do liberals live with the way they vote? It is incomprehensible.”
Lowering standards in every aspect of their lives is the only way liberals can survive. Under achieving is a virtue. When they fail, they just lower the standards.
@oh please
You are so right!!!
The liberals are not effected by the way they vote. They tend to live in upscale neighborhoods and are out of touch with reality.
Eddie was a customer of mine a couple times. He was a nice guy and sounded like he was a family man.
So very sad. Sounds like this family has been through a lot. Prayers to the family, God Bless.
He should have been placed on Double Secret Probation.
I am praying for the Mom, the greatest victim in all of this tragedy. Can you imagine the pain she is going through right now? One son dead, the other one on the direct ticket to a life behind bars. Heartbreaking. 🙏
