I’m a realist….He got away to act again….yes he will!
Hope this fella is found.
We got a pretty good neighborhood on Pine Top.
You’re lucky dude, if it was my closet they’d find him doa. Prayers for his victim(s)
If she had a gun he would be right over there on the floor. It makes them easy to find plus saves tax payers money.
Give me a good description of the suspect and put me on the payroll. All u gotta do is get me a partner and we will be like Martin Lawarance and Will Smith on Bad Boys. In the First 48 hours of me looking for the suspect I gaureentee I’ll find the exact suspect that broke in this lady house.
Cowards hide but eventually are found. I wish some punk would hide in my closet! Kudos to the woman who stood her ground!
