I know a 19 year old kid who struggles everyday, MY SON, serving our country in the US Navy. While this "nothing" is(was) enjoying his freedom. What a pathetic loser this guy is. His parent(s?) FAILED at raising this boy. Failures. While my son is out seeing the world on a ship and having the time of his life. He laughs when he hears about someone around here "struggling"... yeah right.
See you soon Skyler, Dad. Be safe.
Anyone know the latest on the fellow who killed his landlord on 5th St last winter and left his body there for several days? Is this gonna be another one where knowing the "right people" releases another killer back into our midst?
