A mentally-ill mulatto retard. Got it.
Ew.
If he is holding a machete just shoot, coppers.
Why oh why are we wasting time? WUT? He’s hispanic? Is hauling around a short sword cultural? Pi$$ on that! Shoot the savage.
Does he know Ray Epps ? Chris Wray ?
Law enforcement will let people out and watch them to see if they will lead them to other bad players.
How did that dead tarantula get on his head?
