Gpd’s a little late on this one, starting to turn in to compton around here, drive by’s now?
Boyz in the hood.
Was the victim a drug dealer felon type or a gang member or just an innocent bystander? Was there a motive for this drive by that isn’t disclosed by this press release?
Does it matter? Since when has it been okay to murder another person regardless of their social/criminal status?
I understand the death penalty might be a good counter-argument to this, but we, as citizens not on a deciding jury, do not have the right to choose whether someone lives or dies.
Tell that to people who are for abortion
Is that in a food desert area near the Dollar General and county health clinic? And where there’s “non-profit” church pastors wearing gold and gemstones? 🤔🤔🤔
It’s in the neighborhood back behind the Walmart, so not really a food desert.
It’s not the neighborhood behind walmart because tacachale is behind walmart!
