Naseem Octavious Hammond… that named was destined for this headline.
Why, why, why can’t some people just do honest work with an honest job. There is no such thing as a quick buck. You will pay the price. You may not like your job, but an honest job brings self-respect.
This guy is a real piece of trash. I’m surprised he had a job to begin with. His usual occupation is theft. Why do these magistrates keep setting bail so low for REPEAT offenders??
