  1. Well It’s about time justice is finally served as some of these imbeciles and guilty people that keep getting away with 💩 and are repeaters!!! Shame on William Michel II for defending the guilty and getting them off!!! I cannot count how many times he has gotten criminals, drug dealers and merchants of death off the hook! He looks haggard and worn out, and sad as F! Looks like it’s time for him to retire! New laws are going to into effect from the Trump administration and he can now just walk the line and find new employment! 👋 …if your reading, this is your message!
