Crime is down so they say. They should live here
I don't care if you live or die
2nd shooting in Chelsea in less than 24hrs, crime is definitely down!
We need to get the gangs and their influence out of our country. The age of the kids they’re recruiting keeps getting younger. 😔
No offense, but gangs have been around since the U.S. was just 13 colonies. Maybe hold their parents accountable.
