Great job from the Kenosha DA, Sheriff and ICE departments. Only if we can get judges who care about protecting our community. Maybe Norkus can be our next judge.
Norkus appears to be a far superior option compared to Smuckers, who happens to be the candidate selected by Gabriele and her associates.
Regrettably, decisions in this venue are rendered by a select group who wield significant power, while the remainder of us merely reside here and finance their considerable salaries through our taxes. It’s time to drain the swamp.
