Lock his was up!!! We don’t need this pos in our town!!
And they want to take away your guns when vermin like this are loose on our streets?
No, they want to take away the assault rifel type weapons…not just regular guns….
Who is the “local convicted drug dealer” mentioned twice in this article?
that would be Demetrius “Slick” Johnson I do believe
It has to be discouraging for the police force ..who keep arresting these people only to have our judges set them free.
Let’s hope Judge Weiland has turned over a new leaf. Just in the last week she has gotten tougher on a couple cases. Maybe she has gotten the message. We can only hope.
Takes a real tough guy to beat a woman. Coward unless he has a gun. If there is a certain Judge any bets on him serving NO TIME? Need to find an Island someplace to put scum like this and let them kill each other. Oh and make sure there are sharks all around the Island.
Send him to Texas, they’ll execute him!
You can take the savage out of the jungle but you cant take the jungle out of the savage.
I’m so glad he doesn’t live near me, but as a single mom i have found that you have the legal right to protect your home. i hope he is locked away, i wouldn’t want him around my friends or family if he thinking hitting is okay.
Take him behind the chemical shed.
Deport him back to the the rock he crawled out from.
