I'll change the qualifier but I am beyond stunned at the number of posts in a row from outright fuckwads, in a row, no supportive or questioning comments in between, just vile, outright racism over and over. The good people in Chicago need to start posting to that newspaper and question false arrests, FFS. Our man was innocent and a cop LIED, then hatebags fry our man online? Insult on top of injury. Thank you for nit-picking and not commenting on the subject matter.
