  1. Thank God for the detective that actually cared for these victims most the time men detectives don't fight and care for victims in this magnatued and in this manner so im just beyond thankful for her and that all 25 victims finally feel important and they are so precious 🙏🌺❤️

  2. So glad they got this POS!! My heart goes out to every victim.

  3. Typical suspect, probably a Trumpanzee

  4. Why did it take 40 years with so many attacks to find him with DNA evidence? Prayers for these ladies who suffer all these years

  5. Florida… just full of rapists…

  6. Wow..he got to live a long life free, no telling how many people he has violated. I'm sooo surprised.

  7. Ok, the Golden Gate police rapes…Now the pillow case insect…How many more are there? Are the police hiding these cases in an effort to keep the profile of public enemy as non-White? How many children and women are put in danger for a narrative?

  8. Amazing…dna technology . 👀🇺🇸

  9. I'm happy thry got him. I hope he rots in prison.

  10. It’s all about gasoline prices and inflation caused by democrats in control of policy, stupid!

  11. Unfortunately the law does not allow for the death penalty in these cases.

  12. And this is why you don't let these kind of people out ever and so many of them do so many predators . this old msn still doing that he did this the whole entire time. F-ing pos monster. I'm so glad that these women got Justice finally.

  13. Just put this man to sleep. There's no reason for him to walk the earth

  14. News Alert

    Proud Boys Leader Henry “Enrique” Tarrio is arrested for seditious conspiracy
    Proud Boys – Pezzola arrested for seditious conspiracy
    Proud Boys – Ethan Nordean, of Seattle, arrested for seditious conspiracy
    Proud Boys – Joe Biggs, of the Daytona Beach area arrested for seditious conspiracy
    Proud Boys – Zachary Rehl, of Philadelphia arrested for seditious conspiracy

    Peter Navarrow Arrested, Guilty and Indicted!
    Steve Bannon Arrested, Guilty and Indicted!

    Mark Meadows Guilty and Contempt
    Dan Scavino Guilty and Contempt
    Civil Contempt For Trump Is Pending
    Civil lawsuits For Trump Are Pending
    Jail Time For Trump Is Coming: he stole white house documents and gifts to America from foreign officials. oh and he is the insurrection leader

    Now you know what the future with Trumpism will continue to be like !! More mass shooting will happen if DOJ Garland doesnt arrest all top Trumpists.

    No person is above the law! Listen to former DOJ Eric Holder, you can and need to prosecute Trump.

    since January 6 2021 not one single Republican lawmaker has been held accountable for their insurrection actions. they will win re-election if not arrested and they will cause more chaos and mass shootings. Put an end to the evil Trumpist Republicans and support the good Republicans and good democrats.

    DOJ Garland is ending democracy by not prosecuting all top Trumpists.

    MAGA Trumpists are ramping up their war machine to lie about their insurrection! Dont believe the lies!

    ….

    More Very Disturbing Trends –

    1 Law enforcement has NO OBLIGATION TO HELP ANYONE

    2 Law enforcement cant be prosecuted for Not doing their jobs

    3 Law enforcement can legally lie unless they are under oath at that moment; their oath is meaningless

    4 The District Attorney will side with the cops almost always

    This is just normal Trumpist behavior.

    Texas Shooting Coverup …..over 18 armed evil trumpist c o p s had over 11,000 live rounds of ammo and they waited. and waited…..while people were being killed. it took the border patrol to take out the shooter…. how sad is that?

    when will these evil trumpist cops be fired and arrested? they wont because they have qualified immunity!

    nothing will happen to these evil trumpist people unless the locals keep up the pressure and the cops and politicians involved leave!

  15. we will see this on Investigation Discovery.

  16. Another Trump supporter 🙄.

  17. it took law enforcement 40+ years to catch this guy…great work, morons !

  18. Better late than never.

  19. those poor pillow cases

  20. Why is there a bullet proof vest for that heap of garbage.

  21. Remember there's no snow where going to go.

  22. Slow and steady and we're going to catch you all.

  23. so glad he is caught. my heart goes out to his survivors! BRAVE
