The evidence here says it all imo. If you read the articles available about this case, he texted his mother, "My boss and I are not seeing eye to eye... he sent people to try & kill me" and let her know if anything happens to him, it's his boss, and these other dudes. He gave her their names and a description of the vehicle. He is running with his shirt torn off with bruises on him through the woods. Them not showing on camera has nothing to do with it - his cousin said Rasheem was hiding from them in those woods. They could've approached him in a different direction, disabled the camera, etc, we have no idea.
We have no reason not to believe this man. A young dad, son, friend, whole life ahead of him, hard worker, with his OWN seafood restaurant who was working in welding because he wanted to open his restaurant back up after the pandemic closed it.
I notice an unsettling trend online where people of color are not believed about their experiences nearly as much as white people are. Not saying you guys are purposefully racist or anything, just that -
it is a trend I keep seeing and it is both devastating and really frustrating. Especially with the whole "maybe a drug problem..." thing always getting brought up as a possibility when I don't see that happen nearly as often to others. It's like the character of a person doesn't matter, what their family says doesn't matter, and even evidence doesn't seem to matter sometimes. "Well, you know, could be a drug problem" despite nobody saying anything about that including his family, friends, or the POLICE is grating to see after years of seeing it being said with no foundation.
This sheriff immediately saying there's no foul play in spite of these texts and warnings and pictures and this man being decapitated potentially with a penis in his mouth for God's sake... and the family learns over EMAIL about his remains and can't give him any type of proper burial... that's suuuure a lot of BS going on that's incredibly insensitive.
Glad Cardi B is sharing this case around to the right people. Glad the family got a PI, and would be happy to have the feds take over since apparently this sheriff doesn't seem to know down from up in this case.
MOO.
