Democratic mayoral candidate faked kidnapping to win ‘sympathy and votes’ ahead of election: Police (South Carolina)
Washington Examiner ^ | 8/21/20 | Spencer Neale

A woman running to be the "first black mayor" of Sumter, South Carolina, has been arrested and charged with faking her own kidnapping and beating to garner sympathy for her political campaign.

Sabrina Belcher, 29, perpetrated the alleged hoax via Facebook Live with her accomplice 34-year-old Christopher Eaddy, according to South Carolinian police.

“This was simply an effort to create disorder and discontent in our community for personal gain,” Sumter Police Chief Russell Roark said. “As a result, a valuable number of resources, including personnel, man-hours of the police department as well as local medical professionals, were wasted based on false information.”

Detectives said the claims made by Belcher were found to be false after officials uncovered communication between her and Eaddy days before the video was released.

“They staged a kidnapping and beating in order to garner publicity, sympathy and votes in the November election,” police officials added.

Belcher released a rap video in June titled "Pray for Me," where the Democratic candidate sang, "Before I step out the door, I let my momma know, I got plans to make it home." She added that if she "died in police custody," she was "not ready to go,"...

Interesting strategy. Did one of his advisors come up with this? Did they poll the electorate and see if they sympathized with kidnapping victims or blamed them.

He could have really sold it if he sent an ear to his family?

Actually, the Alzheimer’s got a lot of sympathy here on FR at first a few months ago. That’s over.

LOL

I knew a guy who wanted people to believe he was a money collector for the mafia and he cut his own arm with a knife and came into the pizzeria and showed us.

But it was so neat and thin and fine and not deep at all that it was obvious what he did. He carried a knife to look tough which also made it pretty obvious.

Real knife slashes are long and deep.

You don’t hold it out straight. You hold it sideways and swipe because it gives you more distance and you can do very bad damage

But the only person he ever used it on was himself :)

Guilty as charged.

It’s not easy to temper our faith and our anger at dems.

I thought he was suffering and they were using him while he had no idea what was going on..

But I’m back to not feeling bad and disliking him quite a bit :)

Hmmm. Would being cut prove he was a money collector for the mafia? Do they usually go around cutting their own money collectors? This guy seems like an idiot.

I'm not sure Biden seems like someone who has Alzheimer's. Possibly some senility.

Maybe Biden is somewhat effected by that. I have sympathy with people who are effected by that.

The thing I don't sympathize with politicians is their ambition and willingness to do anything to service that.

He said someone he was collecting from Cut Him.

That NEVER happens.

Doesn’t matter if the collector is a nobody. At the end of the day somewhere down the line of command he is representing a Capo of one of the families.

NO ONE ever fights back. That’s a death wish.

Yes, it would seem unwise to cut such a person. But it would also seem unwise for that collector to tell people about it?

What was this guy's goal? I assume if the mafia finds out you've been pretending to be one of their collectors, they won't give you a medal for that?

The report says she is 29? She looks 60, and could afford to miss a month’s worth of meals.

We knew he was off because you’re right.

Everyone knew each other and guys from the same Family hung together.

He was not a collector for the ##### Family.

If it had been a messy would I would have at least thought he got into some kind of altercation.

But it wasn’t even that.

A lot of guys tried to get a name doing stupid things.

Not as blatantly stupid as this guy...but close.

A bunch of younger guys told me the sprayed different vending machines with salt water and poured it into them and cans and money came out.

I had a vending machine route. That’s a story. It’s been a while since the machines were redesigned so that wouldn’t work.

It might damage circuits and cost money for repair, but you’re not getting anything out of it.

Some other guys told me they had drilled open 3 machines during the night.

First of all, without the right drill and bit they would get nowhere even if they tried for an hour.

Second, when I asked them where the coin mechs were, (the part that is worth 600 bucks and gives you change for you dollar) they said they didn’t take them, just dollars in it.

NO ONE would leave the coin mech behind.

It’s an easy 250 cash on the black market.

Thanks for the pic of that PSYCHOPATH....Jussie...er Christina Belcher. It’s enough to make you want to throw up.

Where’s Tawana Brawley, Chrystal Mangum, etc., etc., these days? Where’s all the LARPERS? Hollyweirds? Tarantino could Belcher in his next endeavor. Weinstein could...never mind. Hillaryous “willing suspension of disbelief” admires her. Where’s her Oscar or Nobel prize?

FACE - WORDS - DEEDS

The damage from PSYCHOPATHS in not calculable. WHO are the WHITE PRIVILEGED racists that arrested her? Burn their houses down...the whole neighborhood. Kill the women and children. The racism is “systemic” dontcha know. We can never be sure it’s gone. Where’s my white out? Check the brain waves of this SUBHUMAN POS.

At GM Pontiac “workers” on the night shift would just smash the glass and my buddy who would service the machines would come into a completely looted/empty machine of every snack, every package of gum or mints. History repeating on larger scale with more at stake today.

I’ll give women of this demographic one thing-they have a knack for outrageous dramatic lies that instantly brings them under suspicion leading to conviction. Also, rapping against authority is what I look for in a civic leader.

I had a route of about 40 soda, candy and video game machines

You had to make it understood that you would go to the ends of the earth to find who broke into your machine and the price would be a bad one.

If people knew your were part of a Family, they would rarely attempt to break in.

That policy works in bowling allies and repair garages and taxi stands, strip joints, etc. in a mobbed up place like NYC

But you can’t go around threatening folks at Pontiac!!! Or Morgan Stanley :)
