Why was this guy out of prison? Will he be turned loose again?
Good thing FWC still has officers to patrol the area.
This clown just got out of prison last year. Go get you a bicycle a horse or something this driving is gonna get you fifteen years this time
This one to put it bluntly is nothing but a leech on society looking at past charges he lives everyday to break the law, and prey on society. He needs to go to prison until he is an old man. If he was going to change his ways he would have done it a long time ago
