These guys are kind of old to be at this.
That's what we need in Salisbury ! A big round up of the " usual suspects " and take this community back.
Many thugs off the streets. Nice job!
But Jake says we don't have crime of that kind, so who would we arrest ?
Senior league.
Thi k how much Jake could savr in pizza money.
7:47 Most of them released pending hearings. Not really off the streets. Now they need to make money to pay for lawyers and time lost at dealing. What do you think they are going to do, work at a really job? NOT!
It is all over all you have to see is the cadillacs and numerous Hummers in this area to know there is a lot of action. They have been for years riding around with their pitch black windows, jewelry clad rings, necklaces and bracelets dressed to the nines and with their protection thugs in tow. You would think it was a Hollywood movie or music video being cut right here in the "bury". Wake up Duncan the last to know what's in her own mist.
See who is still in jail 3 months from now.
Scum like this need to be off the streets. But it's our fault they live like this, right? They should have got a warrant and searched their homes and plus checked to see if they had a bank account. Or if they mommas had one. Which they would have made regular deposits to.
