Calvin who has a history of violence, gun toting, and doping. Living the thug life caught up with him. Keep knocking on the devils door and sooner or later someone will answer it.
Time for another symposium on gun violence.
Instead of celebrating St. Patrick driving out serpents from Ireland, we celebrate vipers and make them stay in college towns with repeat legal processes. Victims like this don’t matter to the ruling local judicial/political narrative.
Almost always the same group. Same old same old, different day.
