I wonder if there is a recent protocol requiring make up removal for booking photos. I never saw the smeared eye makeup so much before.

I wonder what other countries, say Latvia does with useless scum like this? Surely not everyone kisses their ass like we do.

A guy named Leach is allegedly a parasite. Is that irony or just coincidence?

She doesn’t look beat up. Her eyes are puffy and baggy from crying. Plus all the mascara smeared. He has eyes that say he has no conscience.

A tattoo on top of your head, and they say profiling is illegal. Come on dude, you are just begging to be branded as an idiot loser waste of oxygen!

Unfortunately, with our liberal jail/prison policies they will both be out quickly, like the ones from yesterday, to rob, steal, car jack, and on and on we go.

Super easy to armchair quarterback from the comfortable spot under your bridges,huh? Taking the time to judge someone going through pain is pretty classy.. Super proud to be among humans, I hope you all have the “Jack Handy” version of God, your gonna need it.. Maybe the girl was broken, maybe she went through the hardest times of her life, maybe after this she walked alone and dealt with America’s deprivity, wearing the faces of men and the badge of abusive rapists, backed by Trump. Maybe people should learn grace, poise, inner strength,and dignity.. maybe learn to swim.. Or don’t.. I’m not impressed sheeple.. everyone thinks their special… The Black sheep, is still a fecking” $#eep, I can count real warriors on one hand these days…
