I had to make a judgment of who was going to be on the donkey of the day. They chose you. It's a breakfast club, bitches. on the donkey of the day they chose you there's a breakfast club bitches who's donkey of the day today well ed sheeran donkey of the day for thursday august 22nd goes to 62 year old antonio riano now i'm telling you right now when trump and fox news hear this story they are going to blame democrats okay this story will be used as an example as to why America needs stronger borders. We have some people who are on the far right who listen to The Breakfast Club. I met some of them last night at the DNC, and I

guarantee you when they hear this story, they are going to scream, build the wall. See, Antonio Riano killed a man 20 years ago, a 25-year-old man named Benjamin Bacara sending healing energy, love, and light to the family of that human. Antonio killed him in broad daylight outside of a bar. December, December of 2004, police were called to the Roundhouse Bar in Cincinnati and found the man shot once in the head. After interviewing witnesses, investigators learned the suspect was commonly known as El diablo and they later identified him as antonio riano surveillance video also showed him lighting off the shots outside the bar so police went to search his residence but police said no one was at home

but the tv was left on and whoever was there left in a hurry when police later searched el diablo's home they learned he used several fake names and had papers to create false documentation to obtain different id and prosecutors said rihanna was in the country unlawfully at the time of the shooting mind you this was 2004 so democrats and republicans can keep acting like the border uh isn't a bipartisan issue but it is and that's why it will take a bipartisan solution to fix it because the border has been a problem under every administration now i'm just giving you a timeline uh of police trying to find antonio riano okay a teacher at the elementary school riano's daughter attended told police they overheard the child's mother say they were moving to new jersey where the family had previously lived police contacted jersey authorities but they were told by their contacts that he had just left the country. Rihanna's baby mama told police she had just fought with Rihanna the night before the shooting and had left him and that a friend drove him to Mexico.

Two years after the shooting, the owner of the home Antonio was staying in found the gun he used to kill Benjamin. And they even found out he bought ammo from a local Walmart an hour before the shooting. Now, this is where it starts to get really good. The Butler County Sheriff's Office lifted Reano as a wanted fugitive, and the case was even profiled on America's Most Wanted. So Antonio, listen to me, y'all. Antonio was a wanted fugitive who was profiled on America's Most Wanted. But police never stopped looking for that ass, okay?

They never stopped looking for him for 20 years. And then, lo and behold, the rise of social media. Okay, Paul Newton, our Newtown, the lead investigator, was searching on social media for clues to Antonio's whereabouts when he stumbled across Antonio's Facebook account. Why would a fugitive who's been on America's Most Wanted and been on the run for 20 years have a Facebook account? I'll tell you why.

Because money isn't the root of all evil nowadays. Attention is. But that's not the kicker. most wanted and been on the run for 20 years have a facebook account i'll tell you why because money isn't the root of all evil nowadays attention is but that's not the kicker not only did he have a facebook account this man antonio riano who has been on the run for 20 years who was featured as a fugitive on america's most wanted this man had a job would you like to know what his occupation was let's go to fox 19 now and send you for the report, please. One of Butler County's most wanted, Antonio Reno. He is accused of killing someone outside of a bar in Hamilton in 2004. Investigators and the U.S. Marshals tracked him down to Mexico,

where he was serving as a police officer. The crime scene tape has long been taken down at the corner of East Avenue and Long Street. But in 2004, this was the spot where investigators found Benjamin Bacara dead. He was shot in the face. Surveillance cameras on the building captured the ordeal, and in the days that followed, police identified Reano as the suspect and found the murder weapon hidden inside his apartment. They say the only issue was Reano had fled the country and went into hiding. That was 20 years ago.

It's all about catching the bad guy and tracking him down because I think he thought he was home free. Once the prosecutor's office located Riano, they spent several years filing paperwork with federal authorities to get him back to Hamilton to face charges. Lord have mercy, working as a police officer. Yes, he figured if you can't beat him, join him, but continue to run from him. Okay, he was a police officer for the past three and a half years in Mexico, which according to his lawyers shows he was not trying to hide from anyone. And his lawyers argue he has no other criminal history now if you shoot a man in the head and kill him dead do you need any other criminal history i believe that murder is more than enough okay i just don't understand how you can be a fugitive on the run

for murder for 20 years and become a cop he probably got employed a month as a cop every month because he always knew where to find the criminals and that place he found them was called the mirror his favorite part about being a police officer was probably chasing himself to keep in shape antonio figured the best place to hide was in plain sight right under their noses he probably makes for a great cop because now he has experience on both sides of the law who better to catch a killer than the guy who already knows how it's done the hypocrisy of this man to go hunt down criminals he probably was serving warrants and everything when he himself is running from the law i bet antonio riano never took any time off from his job because

he knows the only person who could catch him was himself now antonio is in custody he's been extradited to cincinnati to stand trial and it's been ordered that riano be detained without bond until the conclusion of his criminal proceedings a decision that came in a re came in response to a request from prosecutors now antonio was asked in court why he did what he did and this this is what he said. I don't know. I don't know. We looked everywhere. I don't know either. Please give Antonio Riondo the biggest hee-haw.

All right. Crazy world. Sure is. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Yes, ma'am. Sir. Sir.

Sir. Now he acting frozen. Sir. Sir. Sir. Now he acting frozen. Now he frozen. After he want to be there with his little tea, he had a little pinky up, drink his little tea.
