More than hogs died……? Such talent.
I knew it would be a white-on-white crime. What??? No I didn’t. What starts with an M, ends with an H, and has ET in the middle?
its just beginning
White guy. No comments.
who would have thought?
Oh they were a few racist spews in the Whiner’s Den assuming that the two involved were of brown skin races. Don’t kid yourself, when pictures are involved the racists shut up but when pictures or names aren’t involved they’re all over it like flies on shit.
Racist Racist Racist. Put in a different tape, could ya?
A murder involving a knife,inside a slaughterhouse near Eagle Grove…. if you’re going to try to tell us you didn’t expect it was going to involve Hispanics, and then call us racist, you’re not only a liar, you’re a race-baiting liar.
LOL! You’re funny! Where did you pull that shit out of?
I expect people of all races to be violent because it comes from within each individual. I’m not like you who wants to blame people of other ethnic backgrounds for all violence.
You’re stupid. You know as well as anyone that most of the employees at shit jobs like this are going to be immigrants legal or not. They take that type of work. It’s just a simple fact. The point is that in small town iowa shithole slaughterhouses its going to be Latinos and half wit meth babies that smoke meth and dont even posses eyes that sit level. Grow up.
