ReplyDeleteI will bet anyone it's 99.9% black people. The demographics? Anywhere you have a concentrated area of blacks. Take a look at Armour Blvd. before MAC came in, they use to have traffic stopped on the street with their fighting, it was pretty funny. These people truly aren't civilized.

What a wonderful world we had when men were allowed to keep thier women and children in line. Now look at the state of things.
ReplyDeleteHoney, if I agreed with you then we would both be wrong.
ReplyDelete>8:37 AM says its all the black people's fault
ReplyDeleteWhite women love to run to the cops for bullshit. The plurality is committed by white men with dick target goatees who wear knockoff wraparounds and who are short and fat. Likely wearing the Nike Air Monarch or the New Balance 991
