Online court records showed multiple charges against the 23-year-old Smith dating back to 2013. One was as minor as retail theft — which was dismissed — and other less serious offenses included speeding, driving without insurance, driving with a suspended license or having open intoxicants in a vehicle.

“Smith also pleaded guilty to carrying a concealed weapon in 2014.”

Important to remember that the whole "White Girl Bleed a Lot" story originated in Milwaukee.

It was around 30 years ago that my dad was talking to some Milwaukee cops while waiting for me to finish a job interview, and they told him I would be nuts to take the job until the firm moved way out to the W of downtown. Reason? Ferals from the Chicago metro area were "colonizing" parts of downtown Milwaukee.

Interestingly, that same rot has already set in where that firm did move to, so within roughly a quarter of a century, the phagocytes have been wildly successful.
