Did anyone think that the suspect would fit any other description?
No different than in St. Louis or Kansas City, which both cities are in the Top Ten Crime Cities in the Nation, driven by Liberal Democratic Mayors - who do not want to deal with Crime, because it would affect them be elected again - or just like Chicago - another Killing Zone - where the Democratic Mayor and Governor - thinks they have No Crime Issues. Democrats are just Laughable when it comes to Crimes and Criminals.
7:01am. I guess you just skipped the other articles in the Turner Report about the pedophiles committing horrendous crimes in your hillbilly community, which is 90% Republican
"Police say Joplin man" so idk why you bring up cities far away not populated by methed up hillbilly criminals and perverts like SWMO is...
Unless you a raciss or stoopid what other explanation is there for not staying on the topic of a POLICE SAY JOPLIN MAN is the suspect?
Hahaha- You're not a suspect for something somewhere sometime?
Multiple shootings and incidents at this location. Let’s see how long until the next shooting happens outside “club thug”. This place needs to be shut down.
I suspect maybe one of them Stars and Bars secessionist types. A fan of the lost cause aka the losing side in the War To Whip The Rebs And Free Their Slaves.
They thought they knew what a fire was until Sherman showed them a what real fire was!
3:06PM - I would bet that he has ties to Kansas City or St. Louis or possibly hiding out there to fit in and escape capture. To answer your other question - Pedophiles - come in both Genders, all Races, all Ethnicities, all Vocations - all should be removed from our Planet - but you are proving that Idiots like to try and switch topics when it comes to Crimes or Criminals - Like most Democrats - just like Illegal Aliens are committing Crimes by being here Illegally - AREN'T THEY?
Just do an internet search for "Joplin man""police" or "Joplin woman""police".
It's shocking all the crimes and mayhem that go on 24-7-365 in this god fearing little 4Corners heaven!
Yup, all the illegal immigrants are taking all the high-paying jobs and committing the majority of crimes in this hillbilly region. You are really showing your ignorance and racist attitude. How do most illegal immigrants in this country right now come into the country, through the north or south borders?
3:06, to be fair to 7:01, he's talking about the fatal shooting in a bar district, not pedophilia. I know when I read the headline I immediately had a suspect in my mind, and this guy matched it, it's called pattern recognition which is the same thing you used when connecting pedophiles to hillbillies.
So it's ok when you do it against a certain group of people but not when other people use pattern recognition for other groups? Sorry Mr. Hypocrite, that's not how this works.
When looking at statistics of specific crimes you will find that certain groups are overwhelmingly over-represented, it's an uncomfortable fact that we have to live with, especially if you're a police officer.
Here's a quick test, quick, what group of people come to your mind when you hear of telephone scammers? Ohhhh, you're so naughty, you had a bad thought! You must be punished now.
