Tough on crime=good people. Reform seekers=sissies!

Could be worse

It could be far, far worse- all those scumbags could be free to prey on the innocent- we need to lock up more criminals, not less.

Hey, Anonymous? How would

Hey, Anonymous? How would you feel if you lived in a hellhole where the sheriff & other "law-enforcement officials" (UP TO THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY) were all CROOKED AS HELL and were ARRESTING PEOPLE FOR CRIMES THAT THEY DID NOT COMMIT, solely because they were POOR and/or dating people OF ANOTHER RACE, and yet, when another poor kid is MURDERED, that evidence is DESTROYED and the crime scene ERASED, the entire murder is covered up, SO THAT THE DRUG-DEALING WHITE-TRASH WITH MONEY who killed him CAN GO FREE?

That's where I live. The kid arrested was my niece and the kid murdered but his killers never charged --- my nephew. He was 17. The scumbags who killed him are out there, running free, thanks to a thieving, alcoholic piece-of-shit excuse for a "law-and-order" sheriff WHO MADE IT THAT WAY. The drug dealing scumbags CAME FROM ***MONEY***, so they never even got BOOKED on the POSSESSION CHARGES from the same night that they EXECUTED MY NEPHEW for TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM THEM.

Oh, yeahhh, we can REALLY trust the fuckers in uniforms, oh yeah buddy. Stay in your basement, whacking-off to your posters of Michelle Malkin, you idiot.
