Been caught stealing.
Is this same guy that got abused by the Rite Aid security guard?
No, the crying guy detained by the security guard looks a lot different, same Rite Aid though. I didn’t see signs of abuse by security in the video, just a lot of fake crying.
As much as this guy is a piece of garbage, that store and everyone who works there is the worst… nobody cares about the customers and there is always a line at the register while they just gab about stupid shit and the customers wait in agony and disgust
This knuckledragger wanders around Steinway. Hard to miss with the mullet, slack-jawed and saggy pants to reveal his skidmarked bvds. Total loser. Claims to be MS13 too. Real piece of shit too.
What a great citizen !!!!! You must be so proud !!!!!!!!
He’s still commited far fewer crimes than Paul Manafort
Is that a man or a woman, looks pregnick..
