Not a soul will miss those two pieces of crap

It was a senseless killing. And a reminder to keep your eyes and ears open, and keep your mouth shut. It’s not worth it. If I see someone litter, I pick it up and throw it away myself. I avoid confrontation (with strangers) – especially in today’s society.

I don’t need the aggravation, and I’m not their mother. I definitely wouldn’t confront someone who looked like gang members – even if they littered in front of my home. Choose your battles WISELY.

Anyone with “-ez” in their last name has high amounts of conquistador in their blood. A recipe for danger, and control through violence.

Can we get rid of all the Mexicans?

Better buy a first class ticket to Virginia right now, Nick. The average Mexican in California does more for the country than your fake Irish @$$. Go back to Europe then Nicholas. Latinos have roots here for thousands of years, not a couple hundred like you. Stay in your lane, fool.
