  1. What a loser! Charge her with kidnapping on top of that. She clearly kidnapped those babies when she stole the car.
    Shout out to the mom tho. ❤️ so brave. Im glad her and her babies are safe.

  2. Shouldn't this be auto theft and kidnapping?

  3. Thank God the children are safe. This woman has more testicles than RePUGliKLAN politicians. Now that they caught the pig who stole the car, put her in jail and forget where the key was put.

  4. Don't steal cars. Especially STOP STEALING CARS WITH KIDS IN THEM!!!!!!!

  5. lock her up and throw away the key

  6. Why would you leave your kids in the car? 🤦🏽‍♀️

  7. GREAT MOMMA!!!!!!!!!!! A TRUE HERO!!!

  8. She needed to be taken in for those eyebrows. Is she always surprised or what?

  9. America is really a criminal heaven.

  10. Abandoning the 6 year old roadside should be attempted murder

  11. As with all of these cowardly acts, there is no defense, there are no "compelling reasons" or "mitigating circumstances" that justify anything other than maximum sentencing. Hopefully, the DA will find motivation to charge every offense committed by the criminal/s. Amazing luck spared the victim from being severely injured or killed. Kids in the car, Mom clinging for life, beyond evil ….

  12. More like car jacking and kidnapping along with with assault and attempted murder.

  13. and these ppl can vote jesus

  14. Hopefully, the suspect will suddenly identify as a man and be send to the appropriate jail cell with two fellas who have always identified as being men.

  15. oh my god, it's so lucky her children are alive, as a mom, this is completely terrifying

  16. What about kidnap that would carry a pretty heavy Sentence.

  17. Jesus, help us all. Too much violence going on all over the world. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

  18. This is so sad!!!! I feel so sorry for her!!

  19. Car jacker was a Democrat released due to bail reform once played with Brittany Griners balls

  20. If the mother of these children reads this I am so happy your children and you are ok

  21. i saw this one WEEK ago! NBC OLD News…..

  22. News Flash – Steve Bannon pleads to be able to testify, but he committed his crime already so he will go to jail.

    Cipollone does not dispute Trumps illegal activities…..Trump to be indicted soon…

    Cipollone was Trumps White House lawyer and has NOW testified under oath to convict Trump.

    Trumpist making deadly threats and trying to intimidate witnesses!

    Trumpist gunmen will continue because Trump has never been punished for his crimes…..they see no Law and no Order. Arrest Trump and save our kids!

    Trump attacked his secret service agent. Secret Service Agents asked to testify UNDER oath!

    Trump vandalized the White House, destroyed White House property in fit of rage and stole secret documents.

    FBI seized John Eastman for criminal activity and now has his cell phone

    Ron Johnson lies about his seditious conspiracy efforts.

    Mo Brooks, Matt Gates,Scott Perry,Louis Gohmert, Andy Biggs,Paul Gosar, Marjorie Taylor Greene, John Eastman admits guilt….all by asking for pardons!

    Everyone knows, if you ask for or accept a pardon you are admitting guilt! A pardon is for a crime committed.

    Trump willfully mounted the insurrection and violate conspiracy statute 18 U.S.C. § 371 of the criminal code. Trump also stole secret documents from the White House.

    Attorney General Merrick Garland plans to arrest Trump and his leadership team!

    Steve Bannon Arrested, Guilty and Indicted! All appeals denied by courts and his trial starts in July 2022.

    Jail Time For Trump Is Coming: he stole white house documents and gifts to America from foreign officials.
    Loudermilk is a Trumpist Insurgent. He lead Trumpists into the Capital and then denied it.

    Support for Trumpism is support for more mass shooting

    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.

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

    We need to support a federal law mandating prison time for each lie told by an elected official.
    .

    More Very Disturbing Trends –

    1 Law enforcement has NO OBLIGATION TO HELP ANYONE…that is what their Union will fight for during investigations and trials.

    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

    4 The District Attorney will side with the cops almost always

    5 Law enforcement has qualified immunity, which makes it very difficult to prosecute them

    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?

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