Numbers dont lie. The majority of violent crimes all over our country are committed by Somali and middle eastern people.. Remember Donnie Giusti and who murdered him, yet since than we have thousands more “new mainers” with that sane agenda. The only new thing, we can now add the CCP to this mess of “new mainers” out to seek and destroy us.
Described as a “Portland Man” by the Portland Press Hearld no doubt.

Such a shame. We may have to send yet another neurosurgeon to prison.

One small caliber to the back of the head is the sentence that he would receive “ over there “ .
We now have to feed this piece of excrement for the next fifty years .
Justice .
Does the fuzz growing all over Mohamed’s face give some indication of his “religion” and place of origin?
Get used to it. Some of these migrants are trash. Makes the ones wanting to assimilate and contribute to society look bad.
Has anyone thought about what’s going to take place when the taxpayer support ends? Not all are here to contribute to society.
