Good looking group! Maybe they needed clothes for the next ghetto fashion show.
It’s one thing to post a story about thieves but to sit there and make fun of the way they look and dress sends the wrong message. There are innocent kids who get bullied by people all the time and then we wonder where they learn it from. We should be setting the example. Yes expose the criminals for what they have done but don’t be a bully and make fun of a persons looks
We hope they get arrested.
keep making fun of how they look. keep making fun of clown criminals. they usually all have the same profile
