The last year or so I noticed an increase in road rage directed at motorcycles, this is bad.

It will be hard for him to remain undetected in that truck, so it shouldn’t be long until he’s captured.

Just way too many killings these days, it’s like society is listening to rap music entirely too much.

Very sad story.

How about that, the bridge chimp didn’t blame it on pot industry. I think this is a first.

Sounds like you need to call the sherriffs office. You come across as knowing more than they do. Do the right thing, turn him in or tell the real story to sherriffs office.

Interesting. Name listing shows he was (or currently is) a Firefighter in Albion.

Domestic violence knows no boundaries. People in your relationships Please be aware of statements such as “you did what?, “where are you going?”, “I don’t like you hanging out with them!”, “Didn’t I tell you!”, “your not going out dressed like that!” “Tell me Im wrong!” And the ever popular “bitch if I cant have you nobody will!” Watch for
Checking your phone, going through your messages, stalking your Facebook page, cutting you down to your friends behind your back, always acting like you’re the one causing the drama. These are all severe signs of domestic violence and control issues. If you’re dating somebody like this get far away from them. Believe me I know I have a DV order of protection right now and heard all of the same statements often, I only dated the creep for about a month and here we are years later still stalking me. Ladies love yourself don’t let men treat you, your family, loved ones and support groups like garbage.
So sorry for Miss Autumn and her boy!<3
