How long is this going to be tolerated? He ended a life! Maybe it’s time to bring back the death penalty or build a wall at the DC line.
Not sure if you understand the way things are now. Charles and Nothern St. Marys counties are what use to be DC. Very few bad neighborhoods in DC anymore. All the row housing and apartment projects that were once everywhere in DC have all been knocked down and replaced with luxury high rise apartments that start at 3 thousand a month for and 1 bedroom and new 3 level townhouses are were the row houses once were. I work in DC and you cant even recognize it compared to what it was in the 90s and early 2000s
Not sure if you understand but humans have been murdering each other for as long as we have existed. We are simply more efficient at it now.
If you’re going to build a wall then you need one around Lexington park, Waldorf, and pg county
That was his own cousin
So, he (allegedly) killed his own cousin? Why…because she wouldn’t go out with him?
Agree with the death penalty, but no wall.
Let’s get facts straight. This did not happen at Big Dogs or even on their property.
@Anonous
Then where FID it happen, if you know so much?
Could you stop dead naming her?
The victim was arrested as a car thief in November of last year so they were probably caught by the shooter attempting to steal the shooter’s car. Why wasn’t the vitim in jail instead of out on the street?
no
