Phoenix police had to apologize earlier this month after Talan’s parents Becky and Travis Renner received special valet parking services from the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office cops.

A deputy was seen pulling the millionaire gym owners’ white Tesla Model X into a private car park so they could avoid running a gauntlet of journalists.

Authorities took months to name the suspects, with enraged locals who demanded justice and claimed the young boys’ powerful families were preventing justice from being served.

      So are we in the rest of the AZ counties.

      And this is after they got rid of the Fuckstick Arpaio back in 2017 and have at least had Democratic Sheriff’s since. Although, to be fair to him, Skinner was just elected this year. Not an excuse, but his predecessor was there since 2017. And was Sheriff at the time this happened.

        FYI Sheriff Skinner is a DINO. There is a rule that says an appointed sheriff has to be the same party as the person they are replacing. Skinner changed parties so he would be eligible.

    Yawn

    Oh look, another sociopath murderer whose out of touch rich parents will bail out and then will give him a free ride through a pay-to-win degree at an ivy league school catapulting him into a useless but well-titled corporate position so we can have yet another narcissistic [choose one or more: pedophile/rapist/murderer] in a position of power.

      Capitalism is a predatory system. Wealth is a factor in why humans either have children or don’t.

      We are breeding paycthopaths to the detriment of society.

    This is fuckin tragic. I didn’t need to read that. I hope justice is served albeit delayed at this point. This kid deserves time for violently attacking another kid, bragging about it, and trying to get away with no consequences. Yes he’s young, but not too young to pay for this kind of crime.

      That’s not normal behaviour. Kid needs to be tried as an adult and locked up for life. Then mental health evaluation consistently with a chance to be released after 25 years with good behaviour.

        I’d say go a step further. He took an innocent life knowingly and showed complete lack of remorse, why should his life continue? Is there really a benefit to society in the slightest to allow him to continue existing?

        Just give him the death sentence and let his parents cope with the fact they failed at raising a child so badly that it had to be put down.

    Travis Renner and his business partner reportedly plotted to bring Talan to a cabin until the injuries he sustained while handing out the beating healed. Detectives recorded that Renner’s family had ‘financial means to aid in fleeing to Mexico’ and he was taken out of the Phoenix area after the attack on Preston.

    Phoenix police had to apologize earlier this month after Talan’s parents Becky and Travis Renner received special valet parking services from the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office cops.

    Well well.

    Dad’s obviously a piece of shit judging from the smirk in the mugshot. My old man wouldn’t the slightest bit thrilled to be involved with the police because me and my crew of cowards beat a smaller, weaker kid to death. Certainly not if I were dumb enough to try humble bragging about it on social media.

    Family wealth and both kids are violent criminals, one who simulate rape on someone one just beat unconscious, makes you wonder about the home life eh?
