Let’s be honest…no one cares about this…the herd just got thinned out….Mama says nothing good happens after midnight. If this gate crasher had stayed home and not broke the law he would still be here. Homie did society a favor and is not a bad guy.

You’re kidding, right? Remember that your “homie” is wandering around the AV locked and loaded with an attitude. Is that comforting?
