This is becoming too damn prevalent
Guns still out there, youths still trying to kill other people.
They need to do mire about these wild wild west movie scenes in our neighborhoods.
All them gun let off in the country by them two late former bird brothers while they were ministers and the syrians are coming home to roost now. The government back then had probably been signing license for gun importation to individuals for a few under the table back then. And now the government regardless of party will tip toe around white people or syrians or Chinese. They don’t dare investigate them.
If anybody know something, please speak up.
Praying for whoever got hurt….. this getting too common now.
Praying for the victim and their family—hoping for justice.
Hoping the police get the info they need to solve this quickly.
This getting outta hand—when will it stop?
This foolishness need to end before more innocent people get hurt.
If we nah help, the crime only gonna get worse.
SMH
Contrived and staged! Sorry for those randomly selected as collateral damage. Keep the public in fear and on edge! Ask the disgraced soldier. Perfect timing: visitors in town! Walk good, my peeps.
Here in the USA if a crime happens the police will access residents, business and street light camera’s in the said area/perimeter to try to see a possible video of suspected shooter…
Only a lickspittler like Faithful National # 1 could come up with something so stupid, shootings have been happening frequently but he has to come up with conspiracy. Shankers is really debilitating
