Dallas zoo has to be more vigilant for thieves of color.
Was he having relations with these animals?
It's like it's built into their DNA to take things that don't belong to them !!!
What a creep!
To obtain financial freedom, one must either be a business owner, an investor or both, generating passive income, particularly on a monthly basis.
Was there ever a report of them missing their animals?
I have a feeling this guy is on the spectrum just because of the kind of obsessive strange theft and also how little they are saying about him normally people are crucified in the media before being tried legally.
Any one else see Paul Sr. In the thumbnail ?
I mean… those little monkeys are pretty cute lol.
He said, slavery is over, he was freeing mom and dad
A lot of ignorant comments here. Most people seem to be unaware that, people of African descent are the only race without the Ape gene.
It’s a real shame that these animals had to either die, or be so severely distressed before they FINALLY figured out what this knucklehead was doing. And the fact that he was caught trying to get into yet another area, or at least tried to get the information about the animals IN that area. I mean REALLY? Clearly he was going to try and sell them. If you look up the words “Stupid Criminal” in the dictionary, there is a picture of this dummy right there.
I mean SERIOUSLY? Going to jail, probably for quite awhile, and for what? How are some folks able to even exist in the world?
Y’all really got nothing better to do lol
Thank God they arrested this creepy kid
Imagine that, a monkey stealing monkeys. 6 to 1 odds says that he lured them with bananas… that he was eating.
Plenty of them in S. Dallas 🤣
Just imagine being in a cell with this weirdo, and that’s me putting it lightly too. 🫣🙄😅
Caged monkeys.. wild cats, very sad. Zoos are unnecessary, and should all be closed.
Wow, this zoo needs to shut down…
What corners did they cut building this, that no other zoo did? Why wasn't he banned after the incident with the vulture? Why was he allowed back in there to even steal the monkey?
At the beginning of covid I remember seeing a video of a bunch of kids driving around with a monkey in the car.. did they ever get that one back?
Let him spend a free night in the lion's den !!!!!!!
My sun ☀️ is getting brighter outside… how y’all gone survive ⚡️🔥🔥🦆🍌
This is bananas 🤣😂
A monkey stole two monkeys 🐒
It takes a real piece of 💩 to steal from a Zoo💯
Typical
"I would have gotten away with it if it hadn't been for those meddling kids!" – Davion Irvin
Them blacks steal anything, why steal ??
He took the monkeys home in a barrel
The racism in this comment section is astounding
Those or monkeys were probably so scared. Terrible.
So why you in the slammer???🤨*
I..I stole a monkey….
At least he knows where he came from
Imagine being accused of stealing Dallas zoo monkeys.
HE NEEDS TO GO TO PRISON FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE ITS LIKE KIDNAPING KIDS.
Maybe he wanted to spank the monkey
It would be awesome if he was caught by a van full of teenagers and a talking dog.
Stealing monkeys?
Must of Been the BLM leader.
Funny what people steal these days… monkey? How do you even feed it?
The church didn't know who was in their property?
He just wanted friends
serial killer. put him down
Test him for monkeypox
He was a good boy. Wanted to be a b ain surgeon I'm sure
Is there nothing they won't try to steal?? 🙄
Put a thousand watts in the fence durning closed hours and I bet he won’t be cutting any more fences
A monkey gets caught stealing monkeys 😂
