Some people just lack a certain…acuity…
Unfortunately, this dirt bag has been a loser since high school……. Another one of our homegrown pieces of garbage…… I would like to be able to say I’m surprised by this kids actions, but sadly I am not….
Thirty years old and still called a “kid?” I certainly hope the judge doesn’t think so as well…
Acts like one, I’m not going to call this punk a man!
Old “Skinhead Tony” . I’m surprised they didn’t mention his SWP tattoo.
SWP tattoo????
Such a bright individual, I’m sure his Father calls him Son!!! Little humor there, some likely will say VERY little!!!
If my grown, middle-aged daughter can call me “Mom”, “Mommy”, “Mother”, then why can’t I call her “Daughter”, Kid”, Babe” and so on?
why is it Craigslists fault and guess what there are tweek freaks every where
Yup, and many of them using CL for selling their stolen merchandise, hopefully this will lead to more folks getting their stuff back. I tell people the check CL whenever I hear of robberies also. Much the same as backpage caters to hookers, anonymity is what these tweakers lover about CL.
