They never, ever disappoint. Will do exactly what they are wired to do, what we expect them to do, and what they are too stupid to not do.
They are Savages.
Before you come at me, check the crime analytics. If you do, I have all day to debate….

You are ignorant. You don’t even know what transpired, but yet casting judgment. I guess if we are looking at history, then the white man has stolen, lied, and killed to get ahead. Stick to your fish.

If this black kid that stabbed the white kid was selling narcotics to him and shot him I would agree with first statement. But this kid was selling vape pens and had no gun. The white kid from wealthy neighborhood probably a wanna be gangster with tattoos on his neck punk that thinks he is hard ass supposedly attacked this kid and tried to rob him. Idk what story is true but I hope if black kid was defending himself they only give this kid manslaughter. I get these are kids but I can’t stand that thug wanna be gangster shit it’s played out like long hair in the 80s 90s. Time for something new
