Should save us Bexar county taxpayers some money in the long run..
Yeah, because civil litigation is so cheap!
Who cares. Goodbye to a few more porch monkeys.
I guess its okay if I call 4:41 a racist pig. I hope the grand dragon never loses a loved one to suicide. It is horrible. No race is safe from suicides or criminal activity/behavior.
I'd love to see one of these "tuf on crime" cocksuckers get stuck in the jail accidently. But of course it can never happen because as soon as they get jacked up they will be swayed and suddenly pretend they were always on the side of real justice.
They're just a bunch of loud mouths who think it can never happen to them. Like there is no possible way you can get cancer or any other terminal illness. Please don't waste my health insurance premiums to get a check up and catch it before your low life ass is too late to save.
Just fucking die, jackass.
