LoL haha yeah.
Life not worth loosing 20 years …. I know its a easy game and they make a bunch doing it. But over all you live a terrible life and always looking over your back for trouble.
He’s a convicted career dealer with no moral conscience peddling that poison. With any luck he will be 62 when he walks out of prison. Only losers are the kids. Hopefully they are young enough that they wont remember the despicable acts of a so called father that made his living selling poison.
