Virginia rape suspect allegedly killed his accuser after being released from jail due to coronavirus

They didn’t even have corona in that jail. Terrible. That poor woman, her family should sue.

This is happening all over, I believe. Not much info about it in the media.

Why are they letting violent criminals out? I can understand if they’re a low level drug dealer or whatever, but not rapists and murderers. Perhaps contracting covid is just another risk you take on when you decide to rape someone.

VA Republicans have just found a new Willie Horton. And they will use it to reclaim at least some power in the state. Are there a lot of seats in the legislature that are up for grabs?

[R4] Really? So this shouldn’t have been reported. News that goes against your politics needs to be suppressed. The Post is the same newspaper that published the story about a woman wearing Megan Kelly blackface to a Halloween party several years ago, so they don’t exactly have a conservative agenda.

R5, don't be such a dunce. I never said it shouldn't be reported - anything like that is bound to be. My point was that the GOP in VA will use it in a Willie Horton fashion. Given your post, you sound like someone who will be happy to help.

Lots of Republicans got out of Jail too because of Covid. This is no Willie Horton

It’s no Willie Horton. It’s no longer in the news, and trying to use a black man as a political tool to scare white people would backfire these days. It’s 2020 not 1985.

Meanwhile, the rapist/murderer isn't even black. Maybe Muslim, tho.

R9, Trump and his campaign have been stoking fear of Black people for a while now. Where have you been???

And it's 1955 not 1985 masquerading as 2020.
