What was your reaction to the texts?

[@aowyn_]

The texts were horrifying and disgusting and so is that state police officer. I have been following the case daily, and it’s baffling that the prosecution thought that taking this to trial was a good idea. There has been no evidence at all, it’s all compromised or vague. It’s unreal and embarrassing. And that officer should be fired immediately. If he had been speaking about my daughter, I would lose my mind.

[@tylerdurden2520]

To that judge, where is the LAW about bump stocks? Spoiler….there is not one.

[@crackajoe4026]

These people are the most ignorant people I have ever heard !!!

[@TALKONTHANET]

KR case should change the behavior, protocols and the nepotism in the state and local L.E which create dangerous grounds for public corruption. Hold the frat boy mentality accountable. KR will sue for wrongful protection and violating her rights costing taxpayers millions. Boston do not need incompetent L.E costing them millions in lawsuits.

How can the burden be upon the the people with the cameras in the courtroom the court should have their own cameras they can turn on and off in issues of security the judge has all the burden it's his courtroom he has to protect the defendant in the in the prosecution and the jury you can't swing that burden on to the media lies lies lies

[@yvettethomas5533]

It's a pool camera, the Court failed to let them know that a Juror would be coming in. It's def not his fault, and as soon as he realized it was a Juror, he panned the camera down quickly. That was the Courts fault!!!

[@LUtz1230]

🤦‍♀️ do any of you know how a gun works?

[@JGLy22086]

Yes, I do!

[@Exar_Kun]

🤣🤣❤️

[@mack1305]

Glad they're impartial. 😂😂

[@BrendaRWyatt]

Impeach Clarence Thomas and Alito . They are shameless.

[@LUtz1230]

Ignorance. You obviously have never used a firearm.

[@lindseystein9676]

Most responsible gun owners are in support of common sense gun regulation…

[@donaldbulloch9426]

⁠@@lindseystein9676So propose some “common sense” regulation toots.

[@chrisschultz6541]

By the ATF's own definition of automatic fire. The bumpstock does not fall into that category. And it was a law not passed by legislation.

[@PC-tc5je]

Tara Reade is finally getting taken serious? Oh shooo.. never mind

[@carsonkirkman8517]

This passes for journalism?

[@allansheets9031]

No. No it does not!

[@JGLy22086]

Clarence thomas should never have been confirmed!

[@lindseystein9676]

The fact that he keeps “forgetting” to put his extravagant gifts from his billionaire friend is outrageous.

Everyone is going to die one day and eternity is the most important thing. Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" Everyone is going to die one day and after death comes a place for all sinners called hell which is eternal torment, but there is no need to fear because we were given a savior 2,000 years ago and his name is Jesus, so trust in Jesus today as your savior from hell. Christ is the only solution to the sin problem in our world and the eternal penalty as a result, which is ultimately part of our nature passed down from adam and eve due to their rebellion against God. The good news is that there is a savior from the penalty of sin that God the father sent, and that is his only Son Jesus Christ, born of a virgin and without a sin nature like the rest of mankind. The father established the Old Testament law, which was morally perfect to show man's imperfection in attempting to keep it. But Jesus, being perfect, kept the law perfectly, thus fulfilling the law. However, he didnt just fulfill the law, he also died on the cross as a substitute for all mankind's sin. The penalty for sin is death, so God sent his own son to pay the penalty for Mankind so we dont have to go to hell. The lake of fire is referred to as "eternal/spiritual death" so when Christ died for you and me, he satisfied the father's wrath against our sin. Afterwards, he was buried and then rose again after 3 days, conquering the grave. He did this so that mankind can recieve eternal life as a free gift, all you have to do is believe it was done for you. The gospel of john states "He that believeth on the son hath everlasting life, but he that believeth NOT the son shall not see life but the wrath of God abideth on him." Believe in the original Greek language translates to "pistueo" which means to entrust, in this case, to entrust ones eternal destination to Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 "for by grace you have been saved through faith, and not of yourselves it is a GIFT of God. Not of works lest anyman should boast." Simply believe what Christ already did for you to receive eternal life and you are forgiven of every sin. After this, you are given the righteousness of Christ to be just before the father. Romans 4:6 "just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works "

Oh pleeze!

[@Christynmaine]

So killing is okay because the killer is sending their victims to heaven?

[@ShyFly1000]

Quotes the Bible? In a factual conversation? Really? Go turn some water in to wine and then have an opinion.

[@stars0716]

So what, quit making a big deal,just shut up , it was just a text.

[@Christynmaine]

Other than being vulgar, dehumanizing and unprofessional, it was an attempt to smear her name so she could be blamed for John Okeefe’s death.

[@karinaz8756]

It was not “just a text”. It was egregious behavior from a lead investigator that has shown the country he has ZERO integrity or ethics. Sorry gaslighting doesn’t work.

[@lacey8228]

It is a big deal. He was biased towards her from the start and also the lead investigator.

[@thehutch7728]

Ok Jen 🙄
