Life in prison, no parole. Done.
Too harsh? Well, he certainly was not forced to hit the lady.
Enough of these non-sense attacks.
Looks autistic.
I’m convinced that many of these people that randomly punch people in the face were those let out of the mental institutions and jails thanks to our governor and mayor.
