No taxpayers expense any longer...Thug eliminated!!!
shooting again on smith st last night.
Another life lost but destined to happen sooner or later. These kids have no future.
Another one that should not have been released in the first place - but as 7:35 more eloquently stated it - this is a cheaper. There are soooo many taxpayers that would gladly pay to replace the ammunition expended instead of the prosecution and incarceration costs!
obama pardon.
If you say something you are called racist so your only option is to keep moving away from violence then they call it white flight...Democrats have failed the black community with their soft bigotry of low expectations.
It appears that there is a lack of demographics missing on the suspect in this story. Would that be because someone is trying to curtail any riotous behavior that could stem from knowing the missing demographics?
Rebel, does it matter? He made the wrong choices and he is dead... end of story. Why be a race baiter? Don't sink to that level.
949 - I'm not being a "race baiter", I'm simply asking a question about demographics because it has become quite noticeable lately that many stories are coming out lacking identifying features of the suspects. How am I supposed to know the "race" of the suspect? It does not indicate any race in the story.
To law enforcement, demographics have important meaning. What if the only description of a convenience store robber was that the "person" was wearing a hoodie and jeans? I guess the police could have their hands full looking for people wearing hoodies and jeans.
finally Real justice at the price of a 2 cent bullet
saving taxpayers Alot of future $$$$$
