Given my profound hatred for what 100 years of Chicago-style "progress" has done to this country, I am having a real hard time giving a fuck about anything that happens to anybody in Shitcago. Justice always wins, in the long run.
It takes a special kind of sociopath to get paid to terrorize women and children.
An 11 month old. At gunpoint. Unfuckingbelievabull. OK, I am evidently not as dead-set against the death penalty as I thought I was.
I am told these blacks tend to start crime at an early age you can never be to careful as a LEO
And they didn't shoot the dog. They choked it to death and left it in the laundry room.
Well it could be worse they could have been playing this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38_MwcGDNhQ
fuck every pig in the universe
At some point, citizens are going to have to start personally targeting these guys when they're not in armor since the courts have shown that they generally don't want to grant relief, and when they do, the perps don't personally suffer the consequences, the taxpayers do. This leaves citizens with no other recourse against what's essentially an occupying army- or gang.
It's tragic that our society has come to this, but it has. There has to be a personal price-tag when you terrorize people.
