These people make such lovely assets to the community, don’t they? When they move in, schools get better, test scores rise, home values go up, businesses open and everyone wants to flock to the community.
We are so lucky to have these people!

Cultural enrichment.
Alby says
Agreed. When white people moved into the neighborhood the home prices dropped, test scores at the schools went down, business’ closed. They are a real asset indeed. NOT

Sometimes the choices you make have dire consequences.
Victor Valley News had a story of a then 19 y.o. man of this same name doing a string of armed robberies.
Lets ask the two survivors their version of the shooting.

What is the story behind the shooting?
Elizabeth Hubbard says
Sick racists in the comments. May God bless the deceased and injured and the families. We the community, are not these attention seeking losers in the comments. We are a primarily Christian community and mourn those lost greatly, as would any community of any religion, and not a bunch of fools spouting off at the mouth while lives are lost.

Yeah, maybe like how the Blue Lives Matter celebration got out of line on January 6th and the Blue Lives Matters folks murdered and harassed the “Blue Lives” that they claimed to care so much about.

Notice you only had something nice to say as u should for the officer who actually did die of covid. Why no blow up there about how it’s a lie for numbers and money? I guess even u have a line u wont cross when u know u are wrong. Shows who u really are and it’s sad.
Matt says
No u have put it into comments of people who have died in car accidents and a whole bunch of other things. Basically any death that wasnt the police officers. The simple part is again, it shows the kind of person u are.
