NEEDS TO BE SENT BACK TO HIS “SPECIAL” PLACE IN HELL!
There aren’t enough kind and compassionate people in this world and we have to loose one like this! My condolences to Al Chernoff’s family and friends. I know how much he will be missed. I wouldn’t be surprised if he wasn’t trying to help this POS and lost his life because of it. I pray for justice, may it be swift!
