Can we have 1 normal day without any killing or robberies. How come everyone can’t wake up happy and just be thankful to be alive?
These damn ski masks need to be banned!!! This is ridiculous!
Why did people suddenly start committing more crimes this year? Does nobody else find this weird as heck
@TheBronxUser1024566008 you must have been born last week. We still are way safer than the 80s & 90s we just have more data.
Are we ready to ban ski masks from everyone yet?
