Sounds like a real donnybrook with plenty of unbridled hysteria. Cops should be paid way more $$ for having to deal with these miscreants.
She’s bout it, and about that life. Gotta give her credit. And no I’m not being sarcastic in the least bit.
She should spend an equal amount of time studying self-help skills as she does on her hair. Skills equity.
Just another tuesday in southeast gainesville.
An angry girl usually grows up to be an angry woman.
Potential suitors, you’ve been warned.
Wasn’t it Christopher Wesley weeping about the minor posted to mugshots yesterday? Hope he’s crying in his soi milk right now – it WASN’T an accident, haha!

Boy, I hope this doesn’t dash her application to finishing school…
I went to school with her last year and I can tell u she doesn’t care about school all she cares about is having sex in the MIDDLE SCHOOL AUDITORIUM with a boy 2 years older than her. She is supposed to be in the 11th grade right now but instead she in jail, even before this she was in the 7th grade when she was supposed to be in the 10th she doesn’t care about school or anything the girl that was stabbed was a friend of mine and she didn’t deserve that but I went to go check up on her and she’s doing much better right now for those of you who are concerned
