I have zero interest in what his name is unless it is required for the death warrant before strapping him into the electric chair.

What do you think is going on? Our society is coming undone before us.

Prayers up for the fallen officers.

My SIL is a State Trooper. He does leave the house for work without being armored up. I cannot imagine serving warrants without all of the body armor I could get my hands on.
