The Guilford County Sheriff’s Office is reporting that, on Wednesday, Feb. 19, at about 5:34 p.m., deputies received an alert regarding a missing 12-year-old girl from Clearwater, Florida.
The young girl was believed to be en route to a Greensboro address where a “known suspect” was living.
According to a report released on Thursday, Feb. 20, “The Guilford County Sheriff’s Office was contacted by the Pinellas Park Police Department, which advised department deputies that an Amber Alert was entered for the child and an arrest warrant had been issued on the suspect for the following charges: ‘False Imprisonment – Child Under 13 Years of Age,’ as well as with ‘Family Offense – Interfere with Custody of a Minor.’
At about 7:10 on Wednesday night, sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the Greensboro address where they discovered both the missing child and the suspect.
Deputies arrested 39-year-old Kassin Rodriguez who lives in Greensboro, and served him with a Magistrate’s Order for Arrest from Guilford County. He was charged with being a fugitive from justice and charged for Failure to Appear since he previously didn’t show up in court for a Felony Larceny of a Motor Vehicle charge he was and still is facing.
Currently, Rodriguez is being held in the Guilford County Detention Center in downtown Greensboro.
Since he’s clearly a flight risk, he is being held without bond.
The good news is that the child was found safe and has been returned to a legal guardian.
On Thursday, Feb 20 the Sheriff’s Office noted publicly that it wanted to offer its appreciation to the Guilford deputies involved, the Pinellas Park Police Department, and Guilford County Child Protective Services for their help in ensuring the child’s safety.
Since this remains an active investigation, the Sheriff’s Office is providing no further details at this time.
Rodriguez…. ? Ah yes of course.
Diversity!
We must celebrate the millions of illegals admitted by Biden, and all those who came before.
More baseless race based fear mongering from a conservative. Paint me shocked.
Do you paint white American people with the same brush when they commit crimes? Like Bryan Kohberger’s murder of 3 Idaho university students? Bet you don’t. Don’t worry, we know why that is……
But you be you
Yes, actually. But here’s a notion for you Chrissy, and a thought provoking question for everyone to ponder:
What if racism endures because it is predicated on reality ?
Good for you for coming right out and saying the quiet part outloud for us all to understand who you really are.
Racism is not based on reality. It’s based on harmful stereotypes, historical power imbalances, and systemic oppression, not factual differences.
But you be you.
Asserting Leftist shibboleths does not make them true.
Chris, why do you have a problem with racism? I know you must know as a fact that there are Blacks who dislike Whites because they are White. Please do not deny this. There are Whites who dislike Blacks, some because Blacks have been given and given and given at the expense of others. And Blacks still believe that the giving should continue. That’s why Skippy loves DEI and MWBE. This results in resentment. People other than Blacks are tired of hearing about slavery. If the truth beknown, somewhere in history long, long ago I had an ancestor who was a slave. So, you see, Chris, when a non-Black person sees a Black person, they may feel resentment, but it is not because of their skin color but because they are viewed as takers, not contributors to society. As long as a dislike is not acted upon, why should you be concerned that someone may dislike another for their skin color?
TermLimits, I understand your perspective as it is repeated by angry white men that Trump leveraged to create the MAGA cult movement based on lies, misinformation and propaganda. I hate you have falling into the trap of playing the victim of racism as a white person.
When it comes to a person of color not trusting or liking white people in general, it’s important to recognize that resentment and dislike can stem from a variety of sources, including historical injustices, stereotypes, and systemic inequalities. It’s true that there are people of all races who harbor prejudice, but I believe we should focus on building understanding and empathy, not perpetuating division.
It’s also important to acknowledge that the struggles Black people face today are connected to a long history of systemic racism and not just individual actions. The push for things like DEI and MWBE isn’t about ‘giving’ to some at the expense of others, but about trying to correct disparities that have existed for centuries. Discrimination, whether against Black people or any other group, has real, lasting impacts on individuals and communities.
It is also incorrect to classify a person as a taker from society socially based on the color of their skin. The majority of people on public benefits are white. (Funny how white nationalists never mention this fact.) But sure, people of color have a high probability of being on public assistance but there is a long history of systemic racism holding people of color back the same opportunities to get out of poverty due to the color of their skin and a long history of systemic racism within our policing, judicial, financial systems, etc…
For example, I encourage you to research how black famers where not offered the same financial tools to keep their farms running in lean years the same way white farmers where…including here in NC. Just one of many examples of how people of color were kept in ‘their place’ by racist whites in positions of authority.
This is one time I won’t say ‘you be you’, because frankly you can do better than falling prey to white nationality propaganda.
Austin, repeating white nationalist propaganda talking points doesn’t make them true.
But to be clear, are you making the argument that people of color are lessor contributors to society? Sure seems that you are by your comments.
I fully understand you are proud and open about your bigotry against the LGBTQ community but had hoped you were a better person to be bigoted against people of color. (Although I had my suspicions).
But certain races ARE lesser contributors to society. Negroes (the biologically correct term) constitute about 14% of the US population, but three times that proportion of the prison population. And as outlined in The Bell Curve and numerous studies, their average IQ is significantly lower than Caucasians. If this is true, acknowledging this truth does not make you (or me) a bigot. I am a dog lover, but I’d never claim that they are as intelligent as humans, or use this fact as a pretext to despise them. That would be silly. It’s equally silly to deny reality out of some misplaced compassion that liberals embrace.
There is no partisanship in accepting this. Reality also indicates that Northern Orientals like the Japanese have higher IQ than Europeans, and that the race with the very highest IQ is the Jews (about 113). These are just the facts.
Accepting reality is not bigotry. It’s just the truth.
Austin, the question is why?
If you claim it is because they are a lessor people, you are a racist and ignorant.
If you claim it is because society has held the black community down in poverty through a long history of systemic racism that still has repercussions today (given the generational impact of racism), then you are woke. For example, study after study shows how people of color are treated different through the justice system from police profiling to harsher sentences for people of color, etc… Not to mention that people in poverty are far more likely to crimes for a range of reasons.
Which is it from your perspective? Do you deny the how the history of systemic racism has had a lasting impact on the black communities within the United States?
Do you believe your statistics on IQ are cultural versus genetic? For example, education is given more critical importance in other cultures maybe so there is a stereotype of ‘Asians being smarter’?
FYI the study I assume you are referencing: The sample contained only forty-two East Asians (Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans). Their mean IQ was 106, compared to the European-American white mean of 103, consistent with the evidence that East Asians have a higher IQ than whites but based on such a small sample that not much can be made of it.
Have another source for your statement?
***
I didn’t say they were lesser people – and I never would say such an awful thing.
You are a despicable individual, as you deliberately mis-state what others say, so you can put them down, and make yourself feel superior.
Answer the question of why the black community is in jail more often and have a higher rate of requiring government assistance. There are really own two answers at high level. Go ahead. Answer the question.
You are the one that posed the question “What if racism endures because it is predicated on reality ?”
The answer to your two questions is found in the DNA of Africans. They are significantly less intelligent than other races, and stupid people (of all races) have a greater predilection for criminality. Got it?
Now why don’t you answer the original question:
What if racism endures because it is predicated on reality?
This has long been found to be false. At most there are social / economic issues that can impact a community’s collective intelligence. For example, quality neonatal care, access to education, economic freedom that allows time for education over early work life for children.
But to claim, a race is intellectually inferior is utter trash. Just look to early American Slaves that found their freedom and access to education such as Fredrick Douglas, Sojourner Truth, or Phillis Wheatley, or Booker T Washington, or Benjamin Banneker,
Hate to break it to you but you may in all honesty be a racist.
Be Better
Your answer is just false. Different races have different intellectual ability.
Anyone can GOOGLE it and see for themselves.
Chris you should try goggle sometime I’m pretty sure Kohberger murdered 4 students in Idaho
Yes, he did. Because he is white do we condemn all white men? Asking for a friend.
I condemn anyone who is a criminal especially one who murders innocent people, cruel to animals or children, robbing a bank or crossing the border illegally. White, brown, pink, purple or black. I was taught to be kind to animals and dumb people so I’ll be nice to you.
Didn’t want to answer my question did you?
What is there about ILLEGAL that you don’t understand. These are people who broke our laws to get into our country illegally! They have no right to be here!
Marilyn, Chris doesn’t understand the difference between legal immigrants and ILLEGALS. He also has a problem reading a definition in the dictionary,ask him to define opinion
I do. I actually find that conservstives tend to confuse the idea of legal immigrants as being illegal. For example, if you come the border and declare asylum, you are legally released into the US pending the lengthy legal process. The legal process that was to be greatly shortened until Trump blocked the bill to keep his favorite campaign topic valid.
Remember all the conservatives claiming the ‘legal immigrants’ were eating cats and dogs? The were refugees. But because they were poor and people of color, conservatives considered them ‘illegal’.
But you be you.
If your comment about merely claiming asylum to be immediately released into the country, then we have a bunch of dumb illegals because all they would have to say is that they are seeking asylum. That’s all we need, not only illegal immigrants but DUMB illegal immigrants.
The immigration reform bill would have made it far easier to reject asylum claims without the delays that require pending applicants be allowed into the country pending their court hearings. But of course, Trump didn’t like a real solution to his favorite fear mongering campaign talking point so he feed his lies about the bill to his sheep and they ate up and repeated everywhere they could. Even here in the Rhino comment section.
But you be you.
Sarcasm, my dear. Sarcasm.
I am perfectly ok deporting people found to be here illegally. But to use fear mongering as a means to rally people against them is based on a false premise as immigrants (especially illegal immigrants) commit crimes at a far lower rate than natural born citizens.
But you be you.
Chris, the illegals have already committed a crime when they crossed the border. Therefore, they are all 100% criminals. What part of this do you not understand? Unless you do not consider crossing the border illegally a criminal act. If they are not criminals, why are they called ILLEGALS? Please do not provide cover.
And Trump (and many here) want you to believe they add to the crime rates of the communities they settle within. This is a lie of course. Typical fear mongering to create a false enemy to justify actions that seem overkill to those that don’t believe the lie.
For reasons that are obvious, illegals commit crime at a far lower rate than natural born citizens once in the US.
But you be you.
There are many things that are illegal that don’t define you as a criminal even if caught. Just fyi.
Heck, Trump has been found guilty of financial fraud and is a felon, yet most conservatives don’t consider him a criminal. Also note that his charity was found to be fraudulent (remember he used his charity to purchase his own self portrait that hangs at one of his golf clubs?) as well yet you don’t consider him a criminal?
Chris how convenient of you to use the line “White people are most on public assistance “ but you left out a key point. White people make up over 65% of US population while black people only 14%. Guess your opinion got in the way of facts
I didn’t leave that out. It’s just a fact that white people are takers just like any other under privileged people in the US. Too often there is a stereotype welfare is strictly an issue in the black community. Yes, the black community struggles more in poverty than white people. This is largely a result of a long history of systemic racism that has intentionally (and at times unintentionally) extra barriers to keep the black community from breaking through the poverty barrier.
Do you deny that systemic racism has played a large part in the rate of poverty in the black community versus the white community? Happy to provide any range of examples from just the last 20 years (the current generation) if you like?
Chris if you do the percentages based upon population you’ll see that it’s not a big difference in who gets social help. But don’t step on your facts
Share your math….I don’t understand your point.
I don’t know if legal or not. I just hope he gets more than a spank on the hand. I hope the no bond holds up too.
Chris go take a 6th grade math class and you can learn about percentages and averages. Then you do the math. 65%White 14%black
As I said, I don’t understand your point. Maybe you should retake English classes again…
Simple Chris 65-14=51% if you have 51% more people in the country then they will likely use more of the services
LOL. Oh, you are questioning calling out my note a second time after I explained my point earlier regarding TermLimit’s racist statement that ‘but blacks are viewed as takers, not contributors to society’. The purpose of my statement was that White’s are ‘takers’ just the same. Hence my explanation of the statement:
“It’s just a fact that white people are takers just like any other under privileged people in the US. Too often there is a stereotype welfare is strictly an issue in the black community. Yes, the black community struggles more in poverty than white people. This is largely a result of a long history of systemic racism that has intentionally (and at times unintentionally) extra barriers to keep the black community from breaking through the poverty barrier.”
hope that helps clarify. But yet percentage of whites is higher so they make up the majority count of people accepting public assistance. i wasn’t challenging this obvious fact.
