Family and neighbors have told media outlets Maria had a restraining order against him because he allegedly had been harassing her. Her uncle posted a statement on Facebook that the driver had allegedly followed his niece to her home for months and the police were notified, but nothing was done.
Other articles have indicated that he later live-streamed a statement about the murders on his gaming stream with tens of thousands of followers. He reportedly made comments about one of the girls on his livestream, targeting her for making disrespectful comments about Charlie Kirk.
The alleged killer is the son of a police officer and related to a local police chief, which some have claimed contributed to the lack of police action against his months long stalking.
I guess we’re reverting to a more MAGA centric norm of “boys will be boys” when they stalk girls. No need for the police to do anything.
I’m not suggesting things were perfect, but we have fully left the me too era for one in which Jordan Petersons theory that women are “wired” to be more subject to men, because history, and damn the actual choice women had on the matter throughout that history. As such, there will be more complacency in these matters going for(back)ward.
It’s the same as it always has been. In counties and cities run by corrupt, extremely religious people - people don’t get prosecuted for things if they’re allied with the town church, police, or politicians. This has been going on non-stop since before 1776.
It’s how religions work. If you’re one of them, you’re golden and untouchable. If you’re not, they’re going to make your life as shitty as possible. That’s what religious people do in reality, actual reality. Every day.
That’s how “red” states work.

If I were the Dems, my platform would be to create 10 million pick and shovel jobs.
Besides the roads and bridges, we could rebuild the power grid.
Get the man babies out of the basements and give them real jobs.
And yes, I’m sure that there are a lot of women who’d love to drive dump trucks and run power lines.
edit =This getting anonymous downvotes is the funniest thing I can think of.
No actual arguments as to why it’s a terrible idea, just loathing of the idea of picking up a shovel.
Bidens infrastructure bill. Democrats do a thing. Nobody notices. People wonder why Democrats don’t do a thing.
Not only “not noticed”, the republicans just took credit for it. Complete lies, but they said it was theirs. That’s how propaganda works, and one side only uses propaganda. Because we let them broadcast it non-stop.
I had a Nanny who was shocked to learn she missed out on extra pay because of Republicans killing that part of a prior tax bill. She voted for donald every time she could. She was shocked to learn about dems infrastructure bills. I felt like I was informing an idiot what the world looked like. Republican voters are completely misinformed about reality, no degree of “they should do this” will fix the voters being misinformed.
On a personal note. I let her life fall apart after donald won. She was struggling financially and I could’ve helped her, but I didn’t. She should’ve pulled harder on her bootstraps.
Biden did that bill. Already an option, but there’s a profound concept with people you need to understand. You cannot make people do what they do not want to do.
