  1. When these two nasty people get out of prison, they will be too old to drive a car, if they get out alive after serving life without parole!

  2. Because it’s what they do. They have been given the green light, by the democrats to “Get in their faces and tell them they are not wanted here”. That was a quote from Maxine Waters, a member of Congress. She should be arrested for incitement and conspiracy to commit crimes. I live in Florida and Javier would need more than an ambulance, if he pulled this crap in my neighborhood.
