Complete human scum – This is who Pritzker and Johnson are fighting for.
This guy and his associates need to be RICO’ed.
Let’s also have the IRS do a financial proctology on these thugs.
There’s no way their taxes they filed disclose their true income.
If it worked on Al Capone, it will work on these guys.
We want FEDERAL charges on all these thugs that the Illinois Dems protect.
Arrested in Burr Ridge. These gangs are everywhere and the governor’s rhetoric is practically encouraging this type of behavior. Speech is one thing but when people act based on that speech, it is quite another. The SAFE-T act combined with civil warfare is not going to end well for anyone.
Confirmed that this thug is an illegal. He had dusty work clothes on in his arrest photo so they need to arrest his employer.
Let’s hope they arrest all his Snapchat buddies and his family.
I want them all gone!
