The two year old died two streets over from where I grew up. What a tragedy.
Change will come from those who live it everyday and have had enough
Just keep voting Democrat, we all know it’s the Klan killing your children/sarc.
Stoopid ass salt weapons again. Even if none were involved. We know the game.
Won't help until they admit what the roble is. (hint: it aint "white supremacists")
I want this story repeated every day in the five cities in which the election was stolen.
Happening in Atlanta and the ones that are causing it will now ruin the next place.
And they’ll blame people for fleeing...
