Jfc. I hope he rots in jail forever.

A makeshift toilet was also inside the garage, although it didn't flush, alongside a mattress covered in vomit and assorted bags of chips and Twinkies. Officers described the woman in the documents as being "extremely malnourished, "weighing “approximately 70 pounds with a pungent stench," also having no shoes and being visibly filthy.

Wow. This is the guy who put out that album You'll Cowards Don't Even Smoke Crack. He's not just a terrible rapper, but a terrible human being

There’s been lots of rumors and exposures of him being a predatory scumbag, so unfortunately this isn’t completely surprising.

You'll cowards don't even kidnap women

The woman said that her first attempt to escape landed her in the hospital, where Carter picked her up and returned her to his garage, which he boarded up to prevent her from fleeing again.

:-(

My friend works in the ER and has to shut down her soul because so many people come through those doors incredibly high on drugs and with severe mental problems. And in those situations, they do the bare minimum and move on. Our healthcare system isn't set up for helping at that level.

I can imagine this poor woman telling medical staff she's a victim of kidnapping and after finding drugs in her system, releases her back to her kidnapper.

It makes me irrationally angry when people tell someone who is having panic attack or mental health episode to go to the ER. Absolutely the worst advice you can possibly give and people parrot it constantly. Even people who should know better like mental health professionals. It's almost as bad as calling the cops, actually the ER is likely to just fucking call the cops themselves. Also fuck the people who work these ERs they can and should do better, no sympathy.

Why the fuck didn’t you call the fucking cops then????

“ One of Carter's neighbors believes that he was running a human trafficking operation and other illegal activity from his home. “He had just kind of explained that, um, he had some girls that were in there, and he never used the word locked up, but, um, he was kind of protecting them from themselves,” Jedediah Beights told Click 2 Houston.“

What a horrifying story. But the comment section is horrifying in its own way.

That's what happens when you adulate vile people who believe and advocate for shitty things. Turns out they do shitty things.
