“a massachusetts man”..
A Massachusetts man? Is that like a “Portland man”. And no known danger to the public? Nothing to see here, move along. I’m sure the people in Palmyra believe everything from police. C’mon man!
Jaquan Humphries. Who is surprised?
More BIPOCS= More Murders …. Not a difficult thing to figure out . But who other than the regular everyday taxpayer will say it ….the Media ( Including the Maine Wire ) quakes in fear of being called a Racist … Call me what you like I just state what the evidence shows … BIPOCS are a Health hazard
Jaquan…a nice Irish lad, right?
Yeah, I didn’t think so.
Somebody took out the trash.
