  1. Overcrowded prisons and Liberal judges. Deputies and Police are doing their jobs. Liberal judges let them go, or on probation, which is a joke…

    • Judges don’t just make up sentencing out of thin air. The criminal statutes are established by the legislature and cover levels of punishment. No matter how offensive a judge might find a crime and an accused to be, he or she can’t use that in ordering penalties. Your complaint is with the legislature, so be careful who you put in office.

  2. I agree. That’s why criminals aren’t afraid to steal, shoot or break into our homes and businesses. They know that, most likely, they will get a slap on the hand and be let go.

  3. Oh, y’all got REAL comfortable in this comment section. 😂 Let me make something clear: I’m not here to excuse anybody’s choices, but some of y’all are talking like you’ve been appointed by the Supreme Court to hand out sentences. 💀

    If they broke the law, let the law deal with them. Y’all don’t need to add a da*n thing except screenshots and gossip. Because the loudest ones dragging somebody else usually have enough skeletons in their own closet to start a whole da*n cemetery. 😭

    And before anybody gets their feelings hurt: this isn’t me defending what happened. It’s me saying mind your da*n business. You can acknowledge somebody messed up without turning their worst moment into your entertainment.

    Some of y’all need to quit throwing stones with glass houses, dirty windows, and a da*n eviction notice on the front door. 😂😂

    Now carry on. I know y’all need something to talk about. 💅🏽

  4. Yall have no idea what you’re talking about. Jennifer is at home resting in bed and Van will be there the 1st of the week. They are NOT GUILTY. They were set up by a guy named ***** *****. The law knows it and so does Van’s PO. If you know *****, you need to unknow him. He’s nothing but trouble.
