If they murdered someone then they will pay...Why does CNN want to push a racist agenda...

CNN loves to label people based on race, even when it has nothing to do with race. 🤡 news network.

Trump's America

God this is barbaric!

What does him being a Black man have to do with this story? He knew killer and they had a fight. Why fan the race flames.

What about the white girl that was killed by three blacks? Oh, that doesn’t fit your racist narrative, huh?

Boy, want to stir up a bunch of white people? Just report that a black man was killed & burned by a group of white people...and KABOOM! They instantly ignore the ugly murder & start talking about why the article wasn’t sanitized and made all spiffy & white before publishing.

This is so utterly sick, thanks to Donald Trump this is all his fault with his racist talk ,he needs to go and now. This poor gentleman did not deserve this , no one deserves to be treated like this and I hope the people involved with this murder enjoy their time behind bars.

Maybe did mess up by stating the victim was black because it allowed most of you to dehumanize him & make jokes about his death. But he was loved & missed. He has children that are missing their father & mourning his loss. What happened to just having human compassion?

'no evidence of race being a factor'... then why was he murdered, what was the motive? and why didn't any of these 'good people' report the murder after they found out. instead, they all got together to conceal the murder and burn the body. they are cult...

Sure they'll be arrested and brought to Burger King though

Iowa.... A.K.A. 'Aryan or KKK north' is a breeding ground for Trump's far right white supremacy following. You know, the ones who truly represent MAGA! 'MAGA' is another Hitler-like push for a superior race.

💔

BLACK LIVES MATTER be like: 'let's wait a little bit to see who are responsibile for this... if it was a white man or a cop then we destroy the city; if it was a black man then it's ok'

Wtf

Bless the minds and hearts of his family. Vengeance is mine says God! They are laughing now but will cry later.

Four white people murdered a Black man, then set his body on fire in a ditch. That's what the tile should say.

surprised they arrested someone instead of sucking them off

'The investigation has revealed no evidence to show the acts against Michael Williams were motivated by his race nor that his death was the result of a hate crime,' according to a statement from the Department of Public Safety. And yet you still push the story as if it was.

Wouldn't you report if he wasn't black?

GOP stands for KKK. Mitch McConnell's phone number 270-781-1673 Let them eat corona! ITS TIME TO CALL MOSCOW MITCH! F4F

Black man. CNN... master of the race baiting universe

Only stated the race (white) of 1 of the 3 perpetrators....hmm I wonder why, what are the other two? 🤔

Gee, wonder why they felt empowered to do that

They arrested a Hispanic man here in Vegas, for murder, few days ago. He killed his Hispanic girlfriend and burn her body in his backyard. Police said, race did not play a part in her killing. ?

Capital punishment!!!

Arson gone wrong.

Just enough! We have to vote out EVERY repuglican. They are complicit in promoting this type of violence against “the other”. We are one humanity and the US should be out front offering early access to the vaccine to other countries. This just crushed me.

So ? This is the world now, it's only gonna get worse .

Can you share their names, pictures, identities? We the public would like to get to know them a little.....oh, and how were they arrested, peacefully? No choking, no beat down, no tazing, no spraying, no artery clogging and no shooting....right? Peacefully!

ashleah_green ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
