um, clearly another loser
That "you cant touch me" grin is sickening. Who is this kids parents? I am sure they are well off and have given him all he wanted and in turn has created this pathetic excuse of a human being. You are not above the law yet, that smiles say "yes I am." Would love to see that knocked off his face.
We have to listen to these yahoos zooming up and down the streets all night--pity this one has enough drug money to bail himself out.
It's times like this, I regret to say, that I wish we didn't have "innocent until proven guilty," but instead, he is just made to "disappear" and we never are bothered by him again. Skip the trial. Go straight to punishment. I know that's wrong, but that smiling mugshot ain't gonna win him any sympathy.
That little lard ass can sure ride a motorcycle...I have seen him riding around town with his plumbers crack for all to see
What's fun is knowing that, no matter how much he smiles and convinces himself he's a badass, he's going to have a shitty life. There's no amount of money that can make someone a decent human being.
