Caught.
so where are these stores??
Ugly Racist rants do no one any good. Caban has nothing to do with the crack head stealing from these stores. Does this slime ball also live in the projects? Is he an illegal alien? No outrage. I guess he has the right to steal.
I’m so happy Cabán lost. She was going to allow criminals to roam the streets. While most may not agree with the Republican party, they know how to enforce the law.
Except when they’re the ones breaking it. Pretty much all the time, in other words.
As of 2019-08-27 06:21, eleven people think a city is better when its cops are required to allow themselves to be assaulted.
She was actually gonna give all the robbers KEYS! to the banks and stuff!!! The KEYS!!!!
Anonymous- Just tell that to the residents of Tennessee. Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Alaska. All the states with the highest crime rates in the US and all Republican strongholds. According to FBI statistics and Us News and world report. The states with the lowest crime rates are Vermont, Massachusetts, Wyoming, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Virginia, Idaho, New Jersey, New Hampshire and Maine. All but 2 are Democratic strong holds. Where do you get your information and News? Let us guess…Fox News.? You obviously didn’t think your very misinformed post through.
You left out the number one state run by Democrats Chicago, Illinois.
Also, whatabout other things?!
Maria- Please reread my post. I left nothing out and put nothing in, I am passing on statistical information provided by two different sources. Oh and Chicago is not a state no matter what Fox News tells you.
@Maria- You’re a victim of Fox News’ misinformation campaign against anyone or anything not in tow with the Fox News ideology. Cities like Detroit, Atlanta, Memphis, Jacksonville FL and New Orleans, just to name a few, all have much higher crime rates than Chicago but Fox only singles out Chicago because of its relationship with the Obama administration. This is also the case with the constant attacks in California. Fox is disingenuous in its reporting, it is actually a form of propaganda. Mac is correct in his assertion that Fox News is deliberate in its misinformation campaign..The network was actually brought into court on numerous occasions and always used the defense that they’re not a news network but an entertainment company therefore the truth or facts don’t matter.
What loser has time to just sit and hit the thumbs up button thousands of times? Very twisted.
