    1. What a piece of animal detritus. Not even going to call him human. Let’s hope the guys on the cell block administer some cell block justice. I for one will add to their commissary for every justice administered. What kind of person violently beats up a woman? I know that smile makes me furious. He doesn’t realize it but I know him and will be waiting for the right time to have a one on one chat with him. You don’t hurt woman and family dude and come away unscathed.

    2. He won’t be so happy when the rest of her family sits down to chat about his violently beating up his wife who recently gave birth. I hope those on his cellblock ask to see his papers.

    1. Gut feeling is his cellies are going to let him have anything but a fun time. I will put money on anyone’s commissary who keeps him looking over his shoulder. I saw his adorable baby daughter recently and I hope she doesn’t have to grow up with him in her life.
