Let me guess black male…..I didn’t read it yet
you know this is public? Might want to hide your racism a little better
It’s not raciest it’s just like every other article I read
I’m surprised you can read.
and you probably won’t.
How is this raciest?
Sad.
Is this the same strip that the metro pcs phone store is in? I won’t go there anymore cause of all the trash they have hanging around their parking lot. Last time my son and I walked through there, people were out in open just doing their drug deals. Didn’t even try to be discreet.
Yes it is
