That 11 year old kid is just crazy as hell
When someone thinks they are big enough to come and take my whole house get r done. Cause there is no relation of mine going to do it. I don’t care if you live in Washington State or Kansas…
Game cams are awesome I used them to catch tweakers I suppose they would work well for liberals too.
Ha! Too bad that they didn’t take your whole house.
I believe that the signs that was stole was campaign sign for Trump. I have had two taken out of my yard in one week while gone. Lets see who is brave enough to take the one of the top of my porch…..
An 11 year pulls the teacher’s hair and kicks her over a math assignment? I hate math myself but wow. Is this little guy on the road to a future involving various colored jumpsuits? Time for anger management class or something.
Something tells me that turning the teacher-assaulting grade schooler over to his parents won’t do a bit of good. What an advertisement for homeschooling.
