Disturbing! Police lost Waffle House Killer after he stole a car and they chased him last Tues!

This was just revealed in the police news conference! He stole a car from a dealership last Tues- police gave chase- they abandoned the chase due to safety issues supposedly - The car had GPS and was later located at his apartment complex. So WTF happened from Tues to Sun?

and he'd be dead in a morgue. Seems like a mentally ill man with a plan. The truth is he's a fucking terrorist being given a pass.

Jim Cavanaugh, just said, the theft of the car sounds like he was planning something. I am just going to file these excuses under white privilege. There would be over head helicopters chasing James Shaw if he had stolen that BMW. Then what happened when they recovered the BMW?? What investigation was being done to find him? I was disgusted that MSNBC cut the news conference to show the new royal baby.

make sure everyone knows he is a white supremacist terrorist. I think the media needs to use that label.

Had they done their due diligence, they would have found out that this " guy" was a deranged terrorist. Black men get executed for supposedly breaking car windows, stealing candy and cigars, selling loose cigarettes , video tapes and yet here this violent deranged terrorist was able to elude law enforcement with no follow up - even though the car he stole was recovered at his apartment complex. Yeah - Filing this under white privilege.
