  1. What a COMPLETE JOKE. THESE Nazi pukes in Indiana WILL NOT DO anything to this vile thug. Indiana ALWAYS talks tough when FIRST approached with animal TORTURE/abuse, then THEIR CORRUPT DA/prosecutors/judges ALWAYS FIND some LAME reason to let them off the hook for ANY notable punishment. LMFAO at Indiana’s CONSTANT LIES. Now, if a woman wants to get an abortion, THEN and ONLY THEN will they seek criminal charges. Even the men who RAPE and leave them PREGNANT with DEMON spawned baby get NO punishment. DISGUSTING people there! Nothing but a bunch of REMEDIAL TWITS there!

  2. What a disgusting POS!!! He has earned himself a reserved space in the hottest part of Hell for his cruelty.

    Poor precious treasure your life mattered and you did not deserve to be treated like this!!! I know that you are absolutely in Heaven. Please look for MacKitty and join his wonderful snuggle buddies group and RIP amongst loving friends.
