Crazy-ass nigger children running amock, where are the parents? Drunk & pased-out at home!
Cops should learn to shoot straighter. The heart and lungs are big targets. Would save on court costs & jail fees.
These all look like adults to me based on their ages. It also does not mean because you are out late at night you deserve to get shot. Why do people feel they have to use any kind of weapon to settle disagreements. I pray for them.
