      Now now, those kids haven’t paid their protection money like the dealers and mobsters they “fail” to catch.

    the evidence was in lockup, but someone broke in and replaced the snowballs with water.

    This is deep state stuff.

    Wish they’d have spent a fraction of this much time, money, and energy looking for the person/people who burglarized my neighbor’s home. Would love to see a time when actual serious crimes against working class people are taken more seriously than a snowball fight.

    People should be laughing at them. The reporters should be laughing at them, the lawyers should be laughing at them, the judge should laugh at them. They are such a joke.
