Lock up that piece of trash for life!
ReplyDeleteHow does it work in prison when these scumbags are sent away? Does the prison separate the MF cartel members from the Chapitos cartel members? Maybe they all just squash their beef and become friends on the inside. I do know that in Mexico prisons they try to kill each other. Nuff Said!!!
