If you have kids old enough to run the streets, you need to tell them it's nothing but jail and death in them streets. Get a job slow money is better than no money.
@Bigsmoker614 There's been an unprecedented amount of gun violence lately. And let me stop some of you right there, these offenders are people who don't care about your laws you impose on them. This is due to their underdevelopment in modern civil society and the least we could do is provide police, jails, and fair courts so the peace can be kept. Stop justifying this behavior.
IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS STOP IT COLUMBUS
Amen! Come Lord Jesus!
Y’all need to get y’all’s kids! This was a candlelight for someone. RIP to the two that lost their lives cause some of y’all’s kids ain’t got no act right! Smdh!
