For chomos ( child molesters ) and rapist , I will strongly advocate bringing back live human executions for all to see. Why waste money on people like that ? They will rot in jail at the same time get housed and fed on tax payer money ? I say no to that. Public execution is the answer I think is only right for these worthless humans.
I use to work with this guy!!! how scary. I trained him when we where working for subway. He was nice and funny, WTF happened… Even salt looks like sugar, can’t trust what you see
