Did the mainstream media intentionally ignore President Trump’s signing (into law) of the Ashanti Alert Act?
Ashanti Billie, a 19 years of age college student (picture below), of Prince George’s County, Maryland disappeared (abducted) in Virginia back in September 2017. Approximately two weeks later her body was discovered in North Carolina.
Ashanti was too old for an Amber Alert (child abduction alert system) and too young for a Silver Alert (seniors missing alert system).
Eric Brian Brown (picture below) is accused of kidnapping, assaulting and murdering the 19-year-old college student Ashanti Billie.
Brown is a 45 or 46 years of age homeless Navy veteran (left the Navy in 2011 after 20 years). He reportedly attempted, on several occasions, to flirt with Ashanti before abducting her. He reportedly frequented the sub shop where Ashanti worked (apparently he also helped build the same sub shop while working as a day laborer). Court records indicate that Brown may (or may not) have schizophrenia.
President Donald Trump signed the Ashanti Alert Act (nationwide alert system for missing adults between the ages of 18 and 64) into law on December 31, 2018.

The interesting UNABRIDGED SERIES OF COMMENTS to the video presented below were copied by me in their original order on January 14, 2018. All except the first, ‘pinned’ comment were made 1 week ago. There are many more comments that appear below these in the YouTube video comments section.
I think the following individuals are those primarily responsible for getting the very important ASHANTI ALERT legislation drafted and launched nationally:
(1) ASHANTI’S PARENTS
Parents of Ashanti Billie speak about her alleged killer –

Looking back at how Ashanti Alert became national law
Lucas,
DEMOCRATS and REPUBLICANS actually working together at both the state and national levels to actually PASS SOME USEFUL LEGISLATION to benefit the American People.
Quite rare these days — but I like it!
Hi Bruce,
Thank you for adding the comments from the youtube video and the information in regard to the individuals primarily responsible for getting the very important ASHANTI ALERT legislation drafted and launched nationally!
Seems like while President Trump is hard at work trying to make a America a better place (e.g., ASHANTI ALERT) the mainstream media’s primary concern is what type of fast food Trump likes to eat in his free time and the opinions of wealthy actors and musicians.
