  1. My story is similar, but I am lucky to be alive. we started dating in 12th. Things were great, until he developed a drug problem after graduation and a monster was born. I went to college and had a bright future, he did not and was jealous. He was 6’4/over 200lbs and I was 5’5/115lbs .. he overpowered me every time, even though I fought back and busted his nose once. The last physical incident happened in the parking lot of our job before our shift. He stole my car to go buy drugs.

    I staggered into work bleeding and bruised and my coworkers were angels. They called 911, comforted me and took photos for the police.

    He was arrested and let out within a month with a bogus restraining order. I had to face him in court, the judge lied and said he would be on the video monitor from the jail. Yet he was there with smug grin. The judge said she “wished she could do more” but he completed his 30 days. She issued a restraining order, which does nothing. He stalked me years until I answered my door with my friends Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson by my side and he finally left me alone.

  2. 💔 My heart goes out to all of the families & loved ones dealing with these horrendous avoidable losses.
    R. I. P. Lauren 🥀🪦🕯️🪽
    Again, a monstrous predator let out to wreak havoc & take an innocent life.
    R. I P. Brianna 🥀🪦🕯️🪽
    This happens all to often & is judicially rectifiable, but no one bothers to do what's necessary except the victims & their families.

  3. Why did LAPD Moore kill Brianna Kupfer with LAPD training gear…? How many more families is he going to stab?

    Seems like he's threatening to stab the kids of anyone who don't volunteer their kids to marry their police/military gangbanger sons.

  4. After hearing what happened to this young lady and hearing her dad's pleas and the judge basically said screw them. Lowering his bond and allowing a man out that was caught in the act of beating this woman. She's partially responsible for this and I hope it haunts her everyday! She shouldn't be a judge

  5. If that father maimed that guy when he beat his daughter, would that POS judge release him from jail? These abusive jerks need street justice. They don’t ever change.

  6. Man this was sad,the system fail this poor girl, and they should be charged also,the father told them,what this monster would do to his baby,but. I have 3 girls, tey all is grown now,and one is married,and the other two got a boyfriend, and I sit down, and I had a talk with all three of them guys, I told them if you hurt or kill my baby's, I'm coming for you all,and from that day,they is afraid of me,and I don't play games about my kids,I will go to prison or die for my babies, I live them,,but God going to take care of them for me,🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

  7. Dad killed her for fleeing Tennessee to California, and nearly escaping their KKK.

    Either dad or his friends in police/military killed her, or someone involved in their surveillance scope of KKK/bikers/truckers killed her.

  8. This dad is playing dumb about the culture in town which he likely enforced. You don't want your UCLA grad student daughter escaping town, so he recruits a peckerwood to go after her. Even going so far to beat her up in a proxy attack. The dad and his klan community sacrificed her for nearly escaping their KKK, not the son.

    This is a child predator father who is willing to murder his own daughter. This is why kids run to Santa Barbara, South Beach, and NYC.

  9. STOP RELEASING KILLERS!!!

    CAN VICTIMS COME BACK FROM THE DEAD?

    NOPE, STOP RELEASING OR QUIT YOUR JOB AS A JUDGE, DA, LAWYER… ETC

    THEY DON'T DESERVE FREEDOM.
    FREEDOM IS ONLY FOR INNOCENT PEOPLE, NOT GUILTY OR GOOD BEHAVIOUR BS.

    TOO LAZY TO TAKE OFF CAPS.

  10. This dad is playing dumb about the culture in town which he likely enforced. You don't want your UCLA grad student daughter escaping town in a blue city, so he recruits a peckerwood son to go after her to keep her close. Even going so far to beat her up in a proxy attack. The dad and his klan community beat her, not the son.

    This is a child predator father who is willing to murder his own daughter. This is why kids run to California and NYC.

    Even going so far to literally off his own child just to avoid losing her and letting her succeed. What are you, Boko Haram? Are you a biker gang of "protecters"? You kidnap girls now?

    This is and always has been old white klansmen in police. military, and intelligence work who kidnap kids. When they are denied (who the hell wants that kind of family anywhere near their family's finances, healthcare, or travels?), these peckerwoods threaten to shoot up schools, murder families in proxy attacks, and ram cars through parties.

    We have these too in El Segundo and South Bay. We have to hide from these biker gangs and military families just to be able to manage to get good grades and work in peace and quiet. They are currently targeting Asian families for forced marriage and supermodels. Nobody is ever marrying a peckerwood or klansmen in police/military. It's not happening. You are too racist, backwards, and violent. You can't be trusted in blue cities. We have to gate off our compounds just to stay safe.

    Even Israeli girls can't have fun at the raves because of them. Even kids in Martha's Vineyard have to hide because of them. Even Santa Barbara students have to hide. And Santa Monica College students. Even kids in IDAHO have to hide because of their KKK.

  11. Even another single day of taxpayer provided food is a disgraceful waste in this case, not to mention hundreds of thousands in trial & and another annual average of 100k in the DOC.

  12. That rich doctor has a gofundme. Greedy family. They want 2 million. Ridiculous. Oh , and he has another one for 5 million. The greed is sickening.
    I was going to give, but forget that crap.. 😮😮
