What were the circumstances which resulted in SeconDegree?
Thank you.
I bet he drove one of those obnoxious and modified crap cars too.
This culture of law breaking is largely driven by social media, guns, lack of parental oversight and the disinterest in enforcing our vehicle laws; registration, licensing, insurance and enforcing speed and punishing antics.
Enough.
Whoa here- the city of Aurora along with the APD told us they were going to put some serious effort into enforcing license plates scofflaws for a whole week… So, 51 weeks out of the year no worries in this city for no plates. No wonder Aurora holds one of the highest records for stolen cars in the country. My recent insurance policy with a substantial increase for my cars in the Aurora zip code reflect this non-enforcement.
Allentino looks like a fine upstanding citizen.
I grew up with him and he’s a good kid who made a stupid decision
Yes.
Such individuals need to control their anger and not instantly overeacto an affront or insult.
But why was he in possession of a gun? Whowned the gun?
