REPORT: Teen Girl Raped, Murdered After ‘Ignoring’ Catcall From Convict Released Early From Prison; Victim’s Christian Mom Releases Incredible Statement

...

On Saturday morning, 19-year-old University of Illinois at Chicago honor student Ruth George was reportedly raped and murdered after she ignored advances from a paroled convict.

Twenty-six-year-old Donald D. Thurman was formally charged with first-degree murder and aggravated sexual assault of George on Monday, CBS Chicago’s Charlie De Mar reported.

...

Thurman was released from prison in December 2018 for armed robbery. He was sentenced to 6 years, but only served two and is currently on parole

...

According to Assistant State’s Attorney James Murphy, Thurman “thought she was pretty and tried talking to her, but the victim ignored him.” Thurman allegedly launched the attack after he grew “angry he was being ignored.”

...

Thurman confessed to attacking and assaulting the teen on Sunday in a videotaped statement to authorities

...

Ms. George was a devout Christian, according to her family.

Ruth lived out her deep faith in Jesus by loving and serving others, leaving a legacy of Christ-centered kindness and sacrifice,” the victim’s mother, who wished to not be named, said in a statement on Tuesday. “She was the beloved baby of our family. We grieve with hope.

Exactly. The judicial system here should be charged as accomplices.

Our Rat governor (Louisiana) freed nearly 2,000 since late 2017 and 14% of them committed crimes afterward. But that isn’t the main reason I voted straight Repub earlier this year. I did that mainly because of the impeachment debacle in the House. But I’ve been voting Repub ever since I voted for Jimmah Peanut because he, like me was, in the Navy. Dumb. No more.

That face, with that smile, could light up a really big room. Bring happiness and joy to those around her.
Gone because some thug felt dissed.
Said thug deserves a slow and painful hanging.

“Another waste of skin who will live for decades on the taxpayer’s dime.”

I was watching a documentary on Folsom prison.
One of the retired guards made the comment that prison could never rehabilitate a criminal. Only the criminal can rehabilitate himself.
He said that on more than one occasion prisoners told him “if we ever decide to close this place we’ll just stop doing the crimes that bring us here.”

Isn’t that black on black hate crime? Where are the liberals? Hey Oafrah? You lost your vision suddenly?

I don’t believe in the Death Penalty, although I don’t opposed it on moral grounds. The State has the right to execute criminals, I just personally oppose that for my own reasons.

Stuff like this makes me question my mild opposition to the death penalty. It would be most gratifying to see him riding old sparky.

Egad! Smart as a whip AND more beautiful than most contests I see in Miss America these days. What a loss. Not that ugly girls are any less of a loss, just most people are not this gifted with beauty AND brains.

Just saying.

He was RELEASED for armed robbery???? Do you mean he was released after serving two years of a sentence for armed robbery? I didn’t know the prison system released convicts for crimes.

………………………………………………………………………………..

In 1970 my late b-I-l was sentenced to 25 years for armed robbery, he served 23 of them then 2 years parole. He was the get away driver. He always said that he deserved every bit of it. (Missouri)

This will not get the same airplay as the “trans black women getting attacked” stories, even though this is a cis black woman, and in fact cis black women are much more likely to be assaulted, raped, and murdered than trans black women.

This poor, ADORABLE, girl should be the centerpiece of ANY conservative running for office.

In the day of Lee Atwater, an animal like him would be FRONT AND CENTER of any political campaign. But now we’re don’t want to ‘offend’ any potential killers.

When this kind of thing happens, the parole board that released them should face the same time as the offender. That would make better thinkers out of them.

confessed to assaulting the girl

So that's what we call murder now?
