Always picking on the little people who are just trying to make a living and not bother anyone. If someone will setup a gofundme to help with any legal fees, I will definitely make a contribution.
Are you for real?? It a federal crime!
We do not care at all! My guy was making money showing people a good time and minding his business!
Can you say setup?
Crap, there goes my Friday night!
Da*n, he was hitting a lick. Someone was hating and ratted him out. 😟
F**k the police that man helping people
I feel so bad
They got a good man who didn’t mind helping anyone and he sure wasn’t greedy like some in that area
Youre da*n right. That man takes care of his people and has the best character of anyone ive ever known and im proud to say I know him well.
That’s the truth.
ALWAYS HELPING OTHERS.
A DA*N GOOD MAN DIDNT BOTHER ANYONE!!
Stop SNITCHING
He was quite the entrepreneur
That’s why it’s always been called test and tune at the Drag Strip.
uh oh
The people sticking up for the man poisoning our county. He obviously ran a straight dopehouse. He deserves a big sentence he’s gonna get with the many ounces of cocaine and meth. All that oxy leads to heroine use and destroys neighborhoods and families while supporting all the kingpins in the countries those drugs are from. Someone commented a gofundme for the guy, Wow! All those catholic priests seemed like perfect people too until they got caught and brought to light.
Oh, please with the crying! He didn’t force them to do the drugs. Sh*t he just the supplier. Let him out! He seems like a good person from the people who knows him. I’m about to put money on his books.
But I’d be willing to bet you voted for a pedophile. Be quiet Karen- the guy is having a hard enough time without your miserable .02
There’s enough cash there in the photo to buy a fairly nice new car.
But that’s how they get caught, making large cash deposits or spending a large amount of cash on something like a car gets you reported as required by Federal law.
It’s a da*n choice to each and every individual so don’t look down your nose at no one in this situation cause one wrong decision it could be you…..
