I suck dick

A 22-year-old college student from Mississippi was found beaten to death
and wrapped in a sheet in the backseat of her car last week — days after
her father warned a judge that if her boyfriend was let out of jail, he
would kill her.

Lauren Johansen’s body was discovered mutilated and wrapped in trash bags
and a sheet on July 3 in the Wolf River Cemetery in Harrison County, news station WLOX reported.

Her father says that the man charged in her murder, boyfriend Bricen
Rivers, had just bonded out of jail days earlier after he was held for aggravated kidnapping for brutally beating her and holding her hostage
during a December trip to Nashville.

“You can see what happened when he hit her 100 times back in December so
just imagine what he did to her when nobody was around to save her,” her father, Lance Johansen, told the Daily Mail.

“I sat in the courtroom in Nashville and told the judge that if they let
him out, he was going to kill her,” the slain student’s father, Lance
Johansen, told WLOX. “He had assaulted her — this was probably the fifth
or sixth time where they would get into a fight and he would beat her.”

Rivers, 23, faces a murder charge and is being held on a $1 million bond.

He was arrested last Thursday, July 4, following a six-hour manhunt,
NOLA.com reported.

Lauren Johansen, who was originally from Gulfport, was attending the
University of Southern Mississippi to get a nursing degree, said her
father, who is an orthopedic surgeon.

The 22-year-old was first reported missing early July 2 when her sister
woke up alone in their shared Hattiesburg apartment with the front door
wide open and their security camera smashed.

That same morning, her father woke up to a notification that her Life360,
a location-tracking app, had been turned off.

He reported her missing to the Hattiesburg Police Department and the next
day, officers informed him that they located her car in a nearby cemetery.

“I knew she was dead,” Lance Johansen told WLOX, detailing how she was
found wrapped up in trash bags in the backseat of her car.

“She was basically beaten to death. Her face was smashed in, her head was smashed in, she was brutally beaten to the point she couldn’t see out of
either eye when she finally died and there was multiple holes in her
head,” he said.

He continued: “I helped the coroner lift her body out of the car. It was
just mutilated.”

The heartbroken father slammed the criminal justice system in Tennessee
for failing his family, saying Rivers’ bond should have never been
reduced.

Rivers, who initially was held on $251,000, had his bond lowered to
$150,000 after he had been in jail for seven months.

In the moments leading to Rivers’ December arrest, police officers found
Lauren Johansen badly beaten and trying to escape a rental vehicle as
Rivers reached for a firearm.

“I think the criminal justice system in Nashville, Tennessee, failed my daughter and our family. The world shouldn’t work this way,” he told WLOX.
“She was really beautiful, super, super smart. She had dreams and hopes
that were larger than life. Everything she did, everything she touched.”

If that were my daughter, the first on my list that I would hold
accountable are those in the "criminal justice" system that let it happen
and I don't mean holding them accountable by mere words. Can't sue them
because it's almost impossible to do thanks to the level of immunity the politicians have given them but there's other forms of justice.

End Qualified Immunity for District Attorneys, Judges and Parole Boards.
If anyone in these Public Trust positions refuses to prosecute, set
appropriate bail or approves early release of a violent offender that once released commits new violent felonies these officials would be personally responsible to the Victims; Removal of Qualified Immunity protection would allow the "latest victim" to respond with a Civil Lawsuit that could
possibly impact the Offending Official's income and property. (Not an unrealistic solution as several cities have removed Qualified Immunity for their Police Departments)

You're right. That judge should not be allowed to continue being a judge.
How many more murderers will he release if he remains. Sadly we are
heading to a world where there will only be justice if people take justice
in their own hands.
