Jtown looks just like the other liberal ghettos we are all seeing on the news any more. The idiot mayor will be wanting to defund the police next if he isn’t kicked to the curb. It’s not the cops’ fault that halfwits leave their firearms in their vehicles to be stolen by the garbage that will then use them to shoot up other people, their homes and their businesses. It’s bad enough so many rotten parents and their rotten kids run wild without anything being done. People need to get a vigilante mentality now, not later, or you can kiss goodbye what little good is left in this town.
Dang, man, you people better start locking up your guns instead of leaving them for the Jtown trash to get hold of them.
