How’s that low bail thing working out for you? We need a different Court Commissioner.
“Teen”
I hate Kenosha teens.
Serious adult charge for knife, juvenile charge for a loaded gun at the same school…. Weird. This was so the public couldn’t see the report and video of them missing the gun.
POS “Teen”
He didn’t “miss” anything.
