    • Yes captain obvious they do! You see people of all color doing sick s**t. Does he deserve another day of life you may ask in my opinion…h*ll no but I’ll leave that for my good lord to say but today and everyday yes black lives do matter sir! The question is does your?

      • Morality matters. Cultural premises matter. But your or my skin color. does. not. matter. To say that we should be judged as “mattering” on the basis of skin color is the absolute foundation of racism.

    • Wow! What does BLM have to do with this ! SMH Hope he get life in prison! It’s trash in all races dummy !

  1. Simple solution. Instant death penalty. No 4 or 5 year old should ever be intentionally injured, assaulted, murdered at the hands of a monster like this. Little kids think the “boogie man” hides under their bed. No, apparently this ugly boogie man eats all their frosty flakes and lays up with their mama (no instant blame on the mother…yet…as I don’t know the story) but any grown man like this ugly POS should reap EXACTLY what they sewed. What a complete POS.
