Governor you have failed again. In addition to Leweston send a few more cops to Auburn, the high class side of the river, to help control those much hated guns(not people) you democrats rail about.
Mabe governor you need to appoint a few tough judges also!

Let Tom Homan have him. These criminals are deliberately released to continue to terrorize the public and our
society. Every stroke of trauma distributed throughout our communities
by these illegal alien criminal thugs is designed to normalize these CRIMES IN AMERICA.
