Persons in the area and the man’s father admitted that he is known for being involved in robberies. His father said that he often speaks to his son to cease the practices but to no avail.
good for him was there at the hospital wen he died……………. his cuz was there n r
effused to identify him.
when citizens see that criminals are rewarded by the system for their foul deeds they resort to STREET JUSTICE…. at least the father was honest : he didn’t claim his son was a priest going to church when he met his demise . besides’he himself was involved in honest work–quite a good example! …. those don’t hear with their ears will feel with their bodies.
Correct is right!
