Good, about time criminals are being held to higher bail amounts!!! So they sit there ass in jail and someone does crime to them… eye for eye is what we need around here
What a creep. So glad he got arrested. Keep this sicko off of our streets and in our community!
Free him
Why, is he a migrant that needs protection from ICE? This isn’t Portland or Minneapolis
lol. He ain’t did nothing
Especially wash his hair, ever..
Looks like he’s part of the rainbow jihad. F*cking gross. Millstone time.
Demon possession is real. When I think about all the bad decisions that were made by him to get to this point, and look at the exploding numbers of pedophilic crimes exposed, there is no other explanation. No one is immune to depravity except by grace. That alone, has made a believer out of me, and these examples we see here almost daily remind me to be humble and thank God for his mercy.
What a disgusting looking human being🤮
He’s possessed.
