I’m so sick of the criminals getting away with crimes. I want to commend this newspaper for giving the suspects description as reported by law enforcement. The Press Enterprise always omits the race of suspects. This will now be my newspaper. Thank you!
That’s pretty typical . A black male ? If you want something you just take it !
Mom and dad taught him that ! It’s their culture . I thought things might change a bit since they all get Obama money now . But even with that , they must carry on the culture . Spend the Obama money on crack and steal what you want from whitey ! Robbing us of our tax dollars is not enough . These animals will never stop .
