  1. Execute them both they deserve it.

  2. B.S. stop defending these things… It is wrong.

  3. "…we also have to understand that death doesn't solve anything…"
    Yes,it does. It brings justice to those who have been wronged. Channel 5 using transgender to create controversy around this case. Not any different than the race baiting that has been leveraged by the media outlets who lack talent and ethics.

  4. This isn't news. No one cares. One less weirdo. I don't see the problem.πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

  5. The criminal deserves execution. No empathy

  6. Congratulations there's a first for everything πŸ˜ƒ

  7. Sometimes people are where they are for a reason. I feel but I can't reach. Godspeed

  8. Well she should be looking forward to meeting her maker baptized now and forgiven

  9. I'm opposed to the death penalty. I've not a bit of sympathy for a man who murdered his woman partner. But in today's sick society we honor misogynists if they lie about being women.

  10. See that's the problem you're addressing a man as a woman so if he killed her send his 🀒 Azz to the death chambers I had a difficult childhood too and I've never killed anyone and Lord knows I had reasons to

  11. Trumpers love real news all of a sudden

  12. Mo is full a Republican fascist.

  13. Oh that's too bad get on with it. He or she lived longer than the person she killed.

  14. Put the thing out of it's Missouri misery.

  15. Just an absolute circus going on inside these people's minds.

  16. Remember the victim and stop making excuses for criminals. In fact, just shut up…

  17. This is how normal "transgenderism" has become.

  18. He is No different than any other man on death row slated to be executed. Let justice be served …

  19. Idc what their genitals are, if they cut them up or if they use 30 pronouns. Criminals are criminals. JFC.

  20. Like the victim life don't matter. I don't know why these advocates want to save these killers life. The young woman that this man killed was probably begging for her life, but instead he killed her. Eye for an eye

  21. He has mental issues….didnt know or notice…

  22. You mean He, stop calling that thing a she when it’s clearly a He.

  23. Yes it does. This transgender took a life. So shall it be.

  24. Who cares if they're trans or not. Bye bye

  25. She brutally murdered someone and you want us to show compassion? This is sending mixed signals

  26. Kills one gets death sentence. Parkland shooter kills 17 injured 17. Gets life without parole. Justice system makes total sense πŸ˜’
