    U can’t judge a book by its cover he looks like a criminal but nobody doesn’t know what the people are doing to him to get him this angry to pick up a gun and shoot after them so we as the public and law enforcement need answers as to wat is being done to him its not just because he has done harm and he is the bad person

      No amount of anger should allow a person to pick up a gun on someone!!!
