    DeSantis stepped up funding for LE to go after these monsters. So glad he did

    They should have stuck with blue states who don't give a crap about the victims and would give the perps a slap on the wrist.

    US Marshalls and the Free State of Florida working together for justice. This is what should be happening nationwide.

    Hard to know exactly what’s going on. At first sounds like they were all being trafficked. But then it gets much more vague.
    Either way, I hope they end up in better situations.

    Maybe they should stick to where it is actually happening.

    “Sex trafficking continues to pose a persistent threat in Florida, with the state among the top three in the nation for reported human trafficking cases, alongside California and Texas, according to the National Human Trafficking Hotline.”

    Liberal Texas included.

    US Marshalls are feds. Wouldn’t matter even if whatever that narrative you’re trying to spin were true.

    Pretty sure he is referring to the perps sticking to blue states.. not the LE task force bringing them down.
    But it’s still
    Partisan a brick meant to score points when we should all be cheering the demise of human of garbage .

    Huh?

    Not even sure what this means.

    Is this why work from home is so bad?

    I apologize for the confusing post. I’m in hospital and on some strong meds.(cancer sux!)
    However, I believe the original post I referred to is talking about the perps .. they should have stayed in blue states…
    It was a partisan brink of a post. Just lobbed out there only to score points for the”team” he roots for. No need for it.
    Just as there was no need for your snide insult at the end of your inquiry.

    Worried about you, bro. You're not going to self-police any pizza joints, are you?

    Right here
    I know much of what we do on this board is meant to show the superiority of our side, ET, but inferring that liberals don’t care about girls being kidnapped and raped is kind of messed up.

    People who hate on WFH jobs are just those jealous they don’t get to do it for a living, but back to the topic at hand. Glad they were able to rescue these kids and get them back home where they belong.

    LOL! One of our posters, knows who she is, has already said this is vague reporting when there is nothing vague about it. You know I'm right.

    It was vague. We don’t have a clue the situations the kids and teens were in.
    And, yes, your blue states claim was simply sad.

    You thinking it is sad means I'm right over target. Thank you.

    You not knowing doesn't mean vagueness to anyone but you. The US Marshalls working in concert with Florida knows. There is nothing vague except what you have in your own mind. What is sad is for you to second guess law enforcement. What exactly was unclear/vague about one of the girls being held and trafficked is pregnant by one of her captors?

    So, that is all you have to say? It's illegal and they were trafficked. That is all you need to know yet it's vague. When you get hired as a US Marshall, you can tell us all about it. You wouldn't because you'd ruin the case against the arrested individuals.

    Red States, blue states, there is difference. If that offends you, that is your problem, not mine. No reasonable person would disagree that there are huge moral and political differences.

    Ok. You either didn’t read the story or you didn’t understand it.
