Lowell is and has been the drug capital of Massivetwoshits for thirty years. This is laughable. No one there can write an essay anyway, they’re too stoned.

Can I just give them a copy of the constitution?
Well, I guess there will never be any more crime in Lowell, Mass.
This certainly sounds like a GREAT 2nd Amendment case for the courts. This is just SICKENING.
