  1. What happened to formalized death notifications by law enforcement? Maybe thatโ€™s something else Mississippi doesnโ€™t have for its taxpayers. Shamefulโ€ฆRoger Wicker and Cindy Hyde-Smith should be all over this. Where are they?

  2. $250 for a death certificate after the fact? That's abuse, I feel for these poor women.

  3. They want the punishment to be so bad you want come back ๐Ÿ˜ข when first arrested every one goes to drunk tank till bond or see judge for general population I've seen 10 men helt in 8 x 10 holding ๐Ÿ˜ข it no better in other places

  4. I dont care for these people anymore. After seeing they have been attacking our grandparents our elderly I lost sympathy for them

  5. Evil, just evil to even think of doings. God is going to get em, we just pray about n God is definitely going to get them. This is so sad.

  6. These poor families, my heart breaks for these Mummas . ๐Ÿ˜ขโค๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

  7. THERE ARE NO WORDS THAT ANYONE CAN SAY THAT MAKES THIS OK & THEN TO CHARGE THESE POOR FAMILIES FOR A DEATH CERTIFICATE, THE LEAST THEY COULD DO WOULD BE TO HAVE GIVEN THEM WITHOUT QUESTION.
    I HOPE THESE FAMILIES CAN FIND SOME SEMBLANCE OF PEACE OUT OF ALL THIS HEARTACHE.

    AND MAY THEIR LOVED ONES FINALLY REST IN PEACE.
    ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™

  8. Im not suprised ,
    My mother almost lost me because of the Mississippi ฤฅwy patro and Jackson County sheriff.
    those Mississippi jails are brutal ๐Ÿ˜ข
    I've seen some bad things there

  9. These red states are Horrific
    they donโ€™t care about mothers with non-viable pregnancies. Donโ€™t care about missing reports, and having the families be notified and united with their loved ones that has passed on these red states are horrible, and people need to vote blue Democrat down the ballot, vote for Biden, Harris, vote blue.๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ’™

  10. This is three.. there is thousand's!! Literally thousands buried wherever the cops feel like pitting em.. they don't call anyone because they don't want anyone asking questions until after it's too late for an actual autopsy.. theft of a body and mutilation of a body is illegal.. and that's what cop's do when they bury someone, instead of a reputable funeral home.. sad af…

  11. So how did these people die? Were they found together? Iโ€™m so lost!

  12. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

  13. Just as your people did to us American Indians.

  14. Unspeakable ๐Ÿ˜ข I pray for you all you mothers. May justice be served. Their with the Lord ๐Ÿ™

  15. Mississippi ๐Ÿ”ฅ Mississippi Burning

  16. When we go learn the south is still the south.

  17. Is this a matter of basic incompetence or a matter of "Godless Fundie neckbeard dirt" ?(Sorry about the redundancy.)

  18. Who cares! They were criminals. They only care about their sons when they think they can steal money from Tax Payers. They are worthless mothers and should be in Jail as well for being a terrible mother. They were such bad mothers they're sons ruined other peoples lives!

  19. So sorry for her loss this is horrible incsnt imagine her pain. God be with her in Jesus name ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฟ

  20. I wouldn't ever trust Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and wherever else down south with my children of color!!๐Ÿ˜ข

  21. no doubt they want taxpayers to make them millionaires

  22. some people need to be fined and fired.

  23. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY OR THE DEEP SOUTH KKK HEY HEY HEY! WELCOME TO BEING BLACK IN AMERIKKKA

  24. If they had the information to put the families on the death certificate they should be able to contact the families.

  25. Call a waaahbulance. You didn't care about your sons until you were told you could get rich from a lawsuit. Then you suddenly "cared".

  26. Make your votes count!
    ACCOUNTABILITY! ACCOUNTABILITY! ACCOUNTABILITY!

  27. When was the last time he was home with Family ?

  28. Did the families even know they were missing? Had they contacted them recently at all? Were they placed in pauperโ€™s graves?

  29. The value of human life in Mississippi, is quite like to losing your pet dog. Only the family experience the pain. Mississippi is Mississippi

  30. Why is it wrong to call the police pigs??

  31. Republicans mississippi fault people need to leave Republicans red states they are racist
