  1. Crime is running rampant in these liberal cities

  2. I 🫡 there will to escape 😂😂

  3. There are people that get on here and are concerned as to how five men escaped from what is supposed to be a place where they are watched so that doesn't happen. There are some people that get on here and say what a great job they are doing…. Well, apparently someone wasn't doing their job very well when these five, yes, five men escaped. Not only did they escape, but they went into a parking lot that is gated, rolled under the fence and got into a car that just so happened to have the keys in it and credit cards! Regardless of what anyone thinks, it seems very shady, to say the very least. And then they want to say that a construction company must have left a ladder! LOL I would say the ladder is on the building so people can get on top to fix anything that may be broken like heat or air, etc. I find it very odd that this went down the way it did. Escaping at 7:00 and not letting the public know until much much later. And then at first, sfcsd wouldn't even make a statement on the news, but would later issue a statement. And the car and the credit cards and the cash that they mentioned on the news now, that all seems very suspicious. They wanted taxpayers to vote for them, but yet nothing has been done with the funding like it was supposed to have been. This county and I'm sure others, but sfc has been known for being a rundown nasty disgusting place. If anything has changed over there, maybe they could present us with something that has. But staffing, if they don't want to work and do the job that they are supposed to do, again, I would suggest getting rid of those and getting some new ones in that aren't afraid to do the job that they applied to do. I respect law enforcement, but don't whine if people have opinions. Some put their lives on the line, but you have those that aren't as dedicated, for lack of a better word. The whole thing was a bad situation, and they need to look into how to prevent it from happening again. Families worry about their kids, the elderly worry that someone could break into their home and hurt them, as well as anyone else. One of the men have been caught, and I pray that the other 4 get caught as well. But, if they're going to the same place where the conditions are the same way, who is to say they will not do it again? Or maybe some other ones might feel froggy and give it a try. This is a page that has a comment section, and people are going to comment on this whether this guy likes it or that guy likes it same with the women. We all have that right to put our comment.

  4. 1:15 – Why would ANYONE live this close to a detention facility? You can probably hear them cat calling from the yard while youre in your backyard.

  5. It's good vs evil now

  6. Probably a police officer was involved in that, how did they just walk out like that, come on 🤨🤨🤨

  7. Escaped?!!!🤷‍♂️ Drove away?!!!🤷‍♂️ That should NEVER happen!!!😡

  8. Lady is smart. Some murders are in prison because of anger or passion or accidents "SP" are more dangerous then what the judicial system portrays them to be.

  9. Awww sorry about your runaway slaves. Maybe now you might have to get a real job.

  10. hopefully they turn their lives around and live a free life

  11. Why she live next to a jail? Is God punishing her?

  12. My question is why tf is there someone living so close to a jail? That rent better be cheap asf

  13. Sounds like inside intell

  14. Oh brother where art thou!?😏

  15. @1:18 The DUMBEST question EVER.🤣

  16. Sounded like a inside job.

  17. Causing panic over a level 1 or camp jail…the news is hype and panic for profits and even causes suicide or mass shootings since the spread of these type news is directly correlated with influence.

  18. Race putting differences aside, working as a unit!

  19. “Do you hope they catch these guys” wow good question there champ

  20. To close for comfort!? She lives right next to the prison!!

  21. Who opened the gate? 🤔

  22. What if they are in her house at that moment she was talking to reporters? She know where they are.

  23. There was clearly a big lapse in security here.
    I think the obvious answer is to restrict the dress code of the female prison guards, and institute spot checks.

  24. A light morning jog around the prison park..

  25. how is the gate opening if they arent workers? shows how lazy Missouri deputies are. oh wait the governor is republican, lack of secruity, makes sense

  26. Michael Meyers out there?

  27. I am pretty sure I saw pelosi, her husband, and adumb schitt in that car!

  28. Living next to jail is nightmarish

  29. That Warden deserves a life sentence in there with the rest of them.

  30. Man imagine living that close to a prison. Terrifying

  31. you live net to a jail shut up….like oh myyy GAAAWWWDDD…pause

  32. At 1:17 the guy asks the mom who lives by the prison "do you hope they catch these guys?" Lol what?! Brilliant journalism there.

  33. Well they county would have let them back out on the street soon anyways. State of Michigan judicial system believes that selling drugs is worse than raping a child. That is a fact.

  34. Good for them. Jail shouldn’t exist

  35. Why did you stop just dumb dumb

  36. Its happened before. She admits to having daughters who have allegedly been SAed but lives next door to a prison. Not the smartest mom.

  37. 1:18 Reporter: "Do you hope they catch these guys?".

    Give this man a raise.

  38. "On the next episode of " The Mayor of Kingstown"!! "

  39. The real world has lost its filter and truly become the land of gta
