“The Kenly Police Department remains steadfast in its commitment to serving and protecting our community, ensuring that those who disrupt the peace and safety of our citizens are held accountable,” Chief Ayers added.
They’re probably not friends anymore
Two more people who cannot police their own behavior, they rely on the police to change their behavior. Have some self-discipline, get a job, and quit hurting people and taking things that don’t belong to you. Jus’ Sayin’
jus sayin you can ****! you don’t know what happened its free my **** brother till ds backwards !
You know, I am getting SO TIRED OF THIS Bull$h!t of People coming on here threatening the comments, and Commenters!! It is called the “COMMENTS” for a reason, ANYONE AND I MEAN ANYONE CAN LEAVE THEIR COMMENTS!!!
So,@free my dumb A$$ twin brother, I suggest to You, and any of the other low life, illiterate people who HAVE BEEN THREATENING THE CITIZENS OF JOCO in these comment sections- lately , THAT YOU LEARN SOME MANNERS!!!
You also can add any comment, but being belligerent is neither acceptable, nor respectable behavior!!
There are many decent ways that you could have expressed your brothers’ mistakes and problems, and I even bet some folks on here would be somewhat considerate of the situation!! But, your behavior pretty much screwed that up!
Oh and btw, the Dollar Tree “Job” occurred back in Feb, but you “@ free my dumbA$$ brother” were just also sticking up for him in the CircleK “Job” comments thisWeek!
SO is it the same story as before … “PeerPressure”huh bruh? Likely story…
Dumba**es live 1 block away from the crime scene in a town that has only 1 stoplight. Not exactly a couple of criminal masterminds…
