I’m surprised by the lack of details here. I live in this area and heard the gunshots. They woke my boyfriend out of his sleep. There was a vehicular chase and then they caught up to and killed the man. & The guy was a skinhead from what I’ve heard by someone who works at the hospital.
Zander Melrose says
So that white guy’s name was Pookie? Interesting.
Tim Scott says
No, Mike is just committed to demonstrating what a disgusting racist pig he is at every opportunity.
