Why is it that you all felt the need to use an inmate photo to identify the victim in this article??? Were you not able to find a more respectful photograph of him? What was the point and what type of message were you trying to send? Could you not have googled his name, used Facebook images or even asked family members? Disgusting. Oh, and the article is also written poorly.
This maggot lifelong thug piece of shit certainly will be rewarded with a Profiles in Courage award or somw such nobel gesture by some other lowlife DA in this sick society thst makes never ending excfor a shitbag like this fuckin bum.
