If you have daughters, you can understand the sheer anger and pain in that crowd

He blew up a house with someone inside and was still allowed back on the streets? Only in NY. What a trash state.

[@bartenderzzz]

I dont care if i get hit with life, if that was my family he wouldn't have made it to the ambulance

[@posheditor]

facts!

[@sandrawarner4981]

Sickening! Never should have been released! Prayer for the family.😢

[@hera7884]

People are sick of these senseless murders. I don’t think the media or these politicians realize the people in this country are neither helpless nor powerless. We will take a stand if you’re not going to.

[@solidarityrail2551]

Ya he might not make it to court

[@tanyarae3]

Let the family have him!

And how is he from the Bronx when he was arrested on the Lower East Side of Manhattan for murder? Reporting is way off.

[@sarahstvincent6584]

They would of had to shoot or taze me cause when i tell u im jumping from that hight up ledge straight onto that stretcher and going ham on that monster. And no chance the pullin me off cause im biting scratching, hittin balls and breast, pooking out eyes. They would of had to hit me with battery on a police officer 😒

[@jimmyjc2969]

A “rap sheet” doesn’t equal convictions. You can be arrested 1,000 times. If you’re innocent, those arrests mean nothing at the end of the day. Something is odd about this killing. A man confined to a wheelchair would be extremely challenged to stuff a corpse into a body bag, wrap it in garbage bags and then drag it onto the street via a pulley. My question here is who helped him. Obviously the NYPD don’t think he killed her or they charge him with murder right off the bat. Something is missing in this case.

So no one saw a man in a wheelchair carrying a body??🦽

[@timgebhart8735]

He is on video dragging body with electric wheelchair. She apparently stayed with him in his apartment.

[@thoughtstorn854]

Why? Sounds fishy ​@@timgebhart8735

OUR DAUGHTER... MIJA

[@cynthiahawkins2389]

We are missing some part of the story here, there is something a little odd. I don't mean Irish is completely innocent; I am just thinking there is either another person, or some factor we have not as yet learned...I bet the public defender's gonna spin it like so: Irish is a veteran, suffers from combat related PTSD, mental illness of course, addiction and anger management issues. And thus should be given some sort of leniency.

Y’all punching that man but when he was in the wheelchair with her didn’t know approach him then.

[@skullrose8985]

No one probably seen him then,also they didnt know what was in there,yes it might be obvious to some..but from what i have heard no one saw him doing it,if they did im sure he wouldn't be alive now..🙊🙊🙊🙊
