Look at the picture of him at the article; he’s got that bad boy mojo working. He’ll probably impregnate some female prison guards like that gang king in Baltimore.

They still shouldn’t have used that word in the title. Gives a certain credence to the waste of space who MURDERED her in cold blood. The implication could be that she deserved it.

And it’s murder, not execution.

Thank you.
