    Why are these criminals still alive? The death sentence should have been carried out long time ago. “Justice delayed is justice denied.”

    Stop calling Skylar a woman. He is a dangerous criminal that is using the mental disability of gender dysphoria to his advantage. Next he’ll be moved to a women’s facility. The fact that he is even allowed to live his life like this is sick. He should be killed. And JFK’s attorney’s are despicable, using race baiting as a form of defense. They should all be killed. Alonso should not be released and if he is, he should not be allowed to live a comfortable life. If I were the children of Tom and Jackie, I’d find him and drown him at sea.
