Anyone else judging a book by it’s cover?

Doesn’t say where he is from

More cultural enrichment?

Didn’t Governor LePage foresee this exact scenario which plays out weekly (at the very least) in Maine?

Another victim of Climate Change. Hopefully affordable (free) housing will be able to be found.

A new mainer?

Brutus… you can make this stuff up

Need to run his DNA or fingerprints because this man is no stranger to the MDOC. Not his name, but I never forget a face…

No gun charge? What the fuck.
