Just trading him in for carbon credits!
There’s nothing controversial about this guys case, he’s a cop killer, the only thing controversial is that this POS is still breathing... disgusting. I for one will make it a point to piss on his grave after he’s buried.
They were giving away mumia last week in Oakland. I saw a sign that said Free Mumia.
Tookie Time for Mumia!
Would someone please just flush this turd already?
