No wonder no one wants to start a walk in business in any of the abandoned buildings around town.
The liberals are building back better!!! But all the politicians are safe they have private security And yes fences. The rest of us are fodder
Evidently the accused by shoving the clerk forfeited his right under California law to stealing nine hundred and fifty bucks worth of merchandise without consequences?
Dumb fuck thing to do for sure but hey at least he will get three hots and a cot plus a shower
until the DA or some liberal judge turns him loose without bail only to reoffend again and again.It would also be helpful if they provided the poor unfortunate bastard with an eyepatch so that he doesn’t frighten the crap out of the children that he encounters along the way.
