The problem is that when found, New York’s insufficient laws will make a mockery of the terrible crime he committed, even if he gets the maximum amount of time for his offense. Yes, he’ll undoubtedly rot in Hell one day, but that day is probably too far away……
THANKFULLY HE was Found before he suffocated or had a Heat Stroke!!! Maybe Lepe was an illegal and left the country If NOT maybe someone should help him off a Pier with a couple cement blocks holding him down, down, down!!!!
fucking cunt needs to die. How dare he
