Proper grammar is you saw him at McDonald’s. What school did you go to?
I am so Sorry to read this. He was a nice kid in the school. I just seen him a couple of weeks ago at McDonald’s.
They also strip empty houses for copper. Not easy work either. Maybe if seed companies employed Americans these guys wouldn’t have to steal. Homeless are used to do dangerous and difficult work all the time. Often through an agency. Do note that some companies use Americans, like Pioneer.
maybe with no job, no money, no place to stay and nothing to eat, he wanted to be caught. heard the jail feeds them pretty good, have cable tv
I wouldn’t feed that crap to my dog.
I worked with him back in the 70’s , yes he worked then, and he was a decent kid then,
Used to be a pretty nice dude but guess the booze and meth got hold of him, also homeless.
He just wants to go green, and recycle.
C’mon, give him a break. He’s just redistricting the wealth so he can support his meth habit. Is that so wrong? What do expect him to do, get a real job?
Well – If your broke you have to survive somehow – heard he voted YES for the elites new skating rinky dinky.
