What happened to “3 strikes and your out”? 50 times? I bet his mom is saying what a good person he is
@takingabreak: You mean, What a good boy” he is. Never got into trouble before.
The judges who let him out should be put on trial
I had a neighbor who’s kid pulled a gun on an off duty Cop when he got caught stealing his car. The officer shot and killed him. The mother wailed and cried how he was such a nice boy. LOL he was the better of the 4 brothers in the family. B’H Only one made it past his 35th birthday
He was arrested 50 times, but how many of these led to a felony conviction?
