  1. The real murderers are the corrupt judges and lawyers who use bail to get rich letting the murderers to commit murder go.

  2. He shouldn't be arrested. He's allowed to do whatever he wants. BLM

  3. Why is it horrible bad people who do horrible bad things always have a girlfriend and get loved and cuddled this I don't understand but good people who do good things are isolated and alone for decades even all through Christmas.

  4. Its been years and nothing has changed. I used to go every year to NYC, now I do not want my family or friends to be a statistic. Its been 4 years since we last visited.

  5. I saw that video yesterday horrible the lady with him should be charged as well for not getting help and seeing that a man was bleeding out

  6. He’s black give him break that’s what they do best! The race is an absolute disgrace to society

  7. Career criminals like HIM need to be underneath the prison

  8. Serious Epidemic of Goofy Bummy Thugs, and Underweight Crack Babies turned Teens with Saggin Skinny Jeans.

  9. This looks like a guy who wants to go back to prison! 😏 you know the kind – the kind that went to prison, got bent over by other guys? Then he got out of prison, needed a place to stay, finds women who have what he needs, sleeps with them in an attempt to be a man again. Then when it turns out that he misses being someone’s pretend girlfriend and getting 3 meals a day and a roof over his head gor FREE he then goes out and commits a random crime that will ensure that he’ll be put back in prison. That way he can go back to being someone’s pretend girlfriend and never have to take care of himself again! all of this and those women will most likely put money on his books/commissary of which he’ll spend on the next guy he gets with!
    Yup……He looks like THAT dude!

  10. Not very long ago in chicago there was a triple homicide at a bar birthday party by a named samuel salas, he had just gotten out from prison 3 months ago at the time after serving 8 years… for a double murder in a home invasion.

    Yes you heard that right, 8 years and parole for 2 innocent lives lost ! Then barely 3 months out he goes on to take another 3 lives!

    I fear it will be a similar case with this roland codrington person. Knowing how democrats are, i wouldnt be shocked if be doesnt even served a single decade. God bless those who choose to stay in NYC, things are only getting worse

  11. Where's the outrage and outcry from BLM? #BlackLiesMatter?

  12. The 13 % is doing a good job at keeping their homicide rates steadily high.

  13. Glad this twisted evil SOB was arrested now lock him up forever

  14. This guy doesn’t deserve to be wasting anymore of our air

  15. Video is on WORLDSTAR, graphic

  16. Black Lives Matters in NY, LOL.

  17. I just watched the video. There was no ' bumping into each other or a 20 second fight '. The killer stood in front of the guy and they were talking then 2 slices across the neck and the guy just bled out everywhere .

  18. His mom thinks he's innocent and would never hurt anyone. Even if he's a repeat offender, those dam cops arresting an innocent black man over and over. Those videos are way to blurry to prove that's him. Those prints must be fake too…
    BLM!

  19. he should not see the light of day again. only if our criminal system would stop being so fking woke.

  20. 12% of the population commits 54% of homicides: FBI Database.

    When they resist arrest, you defend them. Embolden them.

  21. He's doing P.R. for You Know WHO"

  22. Help bond out sai nt s like Kamala and celebs do. A long criminal history doesn't matter. All saints lives are important over yours
