  • Maybe he should just attend “Anger Management” classes. That’s what the regressive knuckleheads would like.

    After graduation he can hang out with city leadership and their families to help facilitate introduction back into society. Let’s see Poe put his words into action.

    Liberals, still believing everything they tell you.

  • Why is he still awaiting his day(s) in court? Seven months?

  • You’re on your way son. Going to be bright futures for you.
    Send him back to the old decrepit jail in MacClenny

  • Thank goodness abortion is illegal. We need more of these folks.
