Someone must have seen something! Bus terminal right there. Restaurants etc..
Not meaning to be offensive to police, (nor anyone else for that matter) but just a few days ago a man with a red hoodie and a gun enters a bank and escapes…And no-one knows anything?
Even after a person is arrested, and taken into custody, that’ll not make them guilty / or will they necessarily be found guilty. We the public must speak up and out if we want to see a change in certain individuals behavior.
For the dislikes on this subject lets pray the next time it isn’t someone related to you.
What could enrage a man to this extent…?
