    Based on who it is the community ( well a certain demographic ) will advocate for them. But depending on the shooter or the victim sometimes they fall between a rock and a hard place trying to decide who to root for. Nevertheless at least we know 1 less illegal is off the street even though it makes a certain demographic upset about it. But hay it’s Festival-Dem outsideeeeeeeee.

      I am not going anywhere this festival season. Wherever you go you will be walking among killers that have not been caught.
