update: he was caught!
Did they really catch him? 🤔
I hope this day and age people locked their doors and don’t just leave them unlocked because the neighborhood is a nice area. Never assume.
Everyone is acting like this is a huge deal meanwhile they release hundreds of rapists, murderers, child predators every day.
@hawthornegringa they rarely convict rapists & sexual predators in first place.
he’s in custody
