"Copeland was booked into the Lee County Jail Sunday afternoon at 2:47, charged with aggravated assault, armed robbery and violation of his Mississippi Department of Corrections probation.
Law enforcement officials say those charges are expected to be upgraded to capital murder when Copeland is formally charged on Tuesday. Under state law, capital murder suspects are usually held without bond. In Mississippi, a capital murder conviction has only two possible sentences – life without parole or death."
It is tragic and these are the criminals that should be in jail and stay in jail.
But please don't generalize that this is happening country wide - it's only in Democrat run cities and states that this is happening. Many of us are not seeing things like this in the areas we live that are not run by Democrats.
I go into quickie-mart type stores all the time and have never seen an issue. Also worked at a convenience store for 16 years and never had an issue. But the states I have lived in are not soft on crime areas. You commit a crime in my state, you sit your ass in jail until trial because the police will find you and arrest you.
People in Dem cities and states are the only ones who can fix their problems by voting out the current admin. and putting new people in that are tough on crime.
It just feels like criminals these days are a new breed of vicious animals with no conscience and no remorse. Almost like robbery is a secondary motive, and their primary motivation is blood lust at terrorizing and murdering innocent civilians. This thug committed his heinous act in the morning hours on a Sunday, so clearly he didn't give a darn about anyone seeing him in action.
It can't be a coincidence that these new breed of ruthless thugs and their heinous atrocities seem to be skyrocketing across America in the past few years, coinciding with the rise in the 'racial awakening/social justice/defund the police' movement.
These days even if you comply, you still have a huge chance of being maimed and murdered. Every store clerk especially in these gas stations and liquor store/7-11 types, should have a weapon that is easily reachable, and shoot first and ask questions later. I also realize that if a store owner rightfully defended himself using deadly force, the thug's compadres, moms, and certain 'groups' will decry the 'racist' attacks by the store owners.
But as they say, better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6, right?

My prayers to the family of the young man killed.
Last I checked, Mississippi is a Republican run state

Well, the prosecutors are typically county but regardless if true, is it not great to see the Republicans take active strides to reduce the incarceration of these poor, misunderstood youths?
I mean, when people oppose reforms to release violent offenders, calls to defund police completely or just reduce policing aren't they called racists?
I mean wow, what a relief for you that the guy that killed the clerk wasn't shot dead by police. That would have been a travesty.
Wait a second, aren't all these guys shot dead when arrested unless they're white?
Oh, just realized.
That evil state has the death penalty so despite having video tape of the guy aren't you incensed that they might have the wrong guy and execute him? You better get to the go-fund-me to help defend him pronto.
Another example of why you never let another person have your life in their control, as they may indiscriminately decide to end your life, for whatever sick/evil reason they may have.

You think that perp is a Republican? Really?
Fact is, he probably doesn't know what he is.
