California Releases Convicted Murderer Serving 84-Year Sentence Due To Covid
LaCorte News ^ | 7/31/2020 | Damjan Tutarkov

The family of a murder victim in California was outraged to learn that the state has released the person responsible for killing their loved one as part of an effort to reduce the risk of COVID-19 outbreaks inside prisons.

Terebea Williams, 44, was sentenced to 84 years-to-life in prison on charges including first-degree murder, using a firearm, carjacking, and kidnapping of 23-year-old Kevin “John” Ruska Jr. in 1998.

However, Williams served less than a quarter of that sentence (19 years) before being released early as the California government tries to reduce its prison population.

It’s just a matter of time before one of these cases turns into a high profile vigilante case.

The Governor should be responsible for every crime committed from prison break

“...Serving 84-year sentence for COVID”.


So he’s the one who released the Wuhan Virus? Eighty-four years isn’t enough.

But more seriously, “... being released early as the California government tries to reduce its prison population.” If that’s the state government’s goal, why not turn them all loose? If murderers are set free, why not everyone? We certainly don’t want any of them to get sick.

Governor Nancy-Pelosi's-Nephew really believes he is blameless for all the mental, physical and economic pain he has caused and continues to this very hour to inflict on 40,000,000 Clifornians ... and so far he's right as nobody -- and I mean nobody at any level of government, of the judiciary and of law enforcement has dared challenge his vile diktats. It is clear he is truly enjoying his vast new, self-anointed powers.

The people doing the releases have names and addresses. These should be made known.

Indeed.

If masks are so effective, then why didn’t they just give him one?

So the point was brought out in an earlier post, if masks work for the rest of the population, why not just make prisoners wear masks?

The party of the KKK and Jim Crow figured out a new way to kill blacks:

Defund the police.

I wonder how many were killed by perps out on no cash bail. Perhaps, all of them!

Marxist Democrat urban areas will become surreal 21st century ghost towns. Residential, commercial real estate and populations are declining daily. Soon, they will be haunted mostly by the strange and deranged. Street cops don’t even want to accompany the coroners to pick up the bodies much less perform active policing or peacekeeping.

4 years seems inordinately long a sentence for having the Chinese Virus.

That is coming, I'm sure, except for white collar criminals who show some Republican or Christian tendencies.

Maybe we should send all these freed criminals to Cuba as a kind of payback....
