Morally bankrupt, unsavory and feral foreign characters with a history of violent assaults caught and released onto the public streets. We would not put a dangerous dog back on the streets.

And for this the DEMOCRATES want 2% more in taxes.
Who do they think will stay in a Portland Hotel.
I tell any tourist I speak with to stay out of Portland.

Well, Abdoalmonim Kodi was previous housed in a grass hut in Sudan before Catholic Charities bussed his sorry ass to Maine.

His Sudanese mugshot is public property and available. I expect Maine Wire to do better if even MSN published it with this story.

Seems like this one is a candidate for deportation back to Sudan if he is nothing but an illegal, feral, drain on and threat to the People of Maine.
