This violence must be stamped out
That’s a repeated offender, and the article says maximum life he could get.
Cause that’s attempted murder. So I hope he get 20 plus or even life.
That will be a good judgement for him. Set a punks cant use their hands quick to run for a weapon. But if he didn’t had it he didn’t stand a chance or even had help.
Investigate this properly please and don’t take months to call the case and no bailllllllll period
Teach the little wanna be PUNK THAT CANNOT EVEN CLEAN HIS DIRTY BEHIND A GOOD LESSON. PUT HIM IN A RING WITH A PRO BOXER AND LET THE BOXER PUT A GOOD STREET WHIPPING ON HIS BEHIND. I WOULD PAY GOOD MONEY TO SEE THAT. BEAT HIS LITTLE PUNK BEHIND UNTIL HE BEG AND PLEAD FOR MERCY, IF HE DON’T, STOMP A MUD HOLE IN HIS BEHIND.
