Dumb and Dumber with prison tattoos.
These two…having that much weight…have no desire to be successful citizens nor do they have any desire to live!!!
I agree with @Cleanitup, this stuff can kill you by touching it and here these two are with syringes to inject this killer into their bodies.
Part of me says load each syringe with half of this poison and let them inject it but the better thinking side of me says pray that they will WAKE up and turn their lives around.
These two are close enough to be grand fathers and receive their greatest blessings but here they are being a waste of good clean breathing air and pushing this poison around town.
I’m sorry but they aren’t ever going to learn so lock them up and lose the key. I bet their families are sure proud…SMH
3 milligrams of fentanyl is a lethal dose for most people. This guy had 8.7 grams.
Thank you once again, for getting this trash and poison off our streets!
I really wish people would realize just how dangerous this is. You can literally die from touching the shit! What don’t people realize?! People like this one, needs to do the time if your gonna do the crime. Quit just slapping them on the damn wrist! They are killing people!
