Police in North Carolina arrested and charged a 24-year-old over the alleged rape and murder of his teenage girlfriend, who was found stripped and bound in a Charlotte apartment — after suffering months of torture. The body of 19-year-old Isabella Stroupe was found almost naked and bound with a tow strap in east Charlotte on Friday, WSCOTV’s Hunter Sáenz reported, citing court records. Her boyfriend, Thomaz Hamilton, 24, initially claimed the couple was having sex when she suffered a suspected heart attack, according to court documents. But following an autopsy, the medical examiner ruled Stroupe’s death a homicide, Sáenz reported. The body of Isabella Stroupe, 19, was found stripped and bound at a Charlotte apartment. She had suffered multiple broken and fractured bones and stab wounds, with the medical examiner finding that she was likely being tortured over a period of several months, court documents state. The medical examiner also ruled that Stroupe would not have been able to consent to sex.

the Post probaby gives this horrible black-on-white torture/murder more coverage than the North Carolina press does.

Why did I know this was going to be a black guy/white girl murder?

Not exactly true love.

All cultures are equal. None is superior. To think otherwise would be Very Very Bad.

A quick trial and execution is in order.

A poster child for the death penalty.

It’s really trendy for younger generation girls to date black guys the days but things can get problematic when ghetto mentality meets suburban white culture .

These naive young girls have no idea what they are getting into when they become involved with this scene.

Oh my, how usual

[rod5591]

You’re right, I was wrong about local press coverage.

[rod5591]

I’ve never understood why a white girl would even consider dating a black man.

Good for the NY Post for publishing the photos - but then we already knew:

The perp was apparently her boyfriend:

I am very sorry this happened but...

Oh, my heart just breaks for that poor, innocent sweet girl and is filled with rage about that monster.

Time for Son of Satan Barack Hussein Obama
to defend another one of his sons

[Resolute Conservative]

Mud-sharking has become an epidemic and lots of these girls find out the hard way. Never got the attraction for the girls.

Nothing wrong with a white girl dating a decent black guy, the problem is that in today's culture, a disproportionate number of black guys are simply not the best of people for a teenage girl of any race to get involved with.
