whit3boy321, no doubt you are also one of those sociopaths with a chip on your shoulder and an attitude that matches.

By the way, what did you want the police to do? Sing kum-bay-yah while this miscreant takes shots at them?

I new this kid he was good kid, just went the wrong path, all he needed was some direction, Dalton was murdered. No way this boy was fighting the cops who murdered him, he to skinny to fight 5 cops or one. these killers are the ones who should be dead. KILLING DALTON LEFT SCARS ON FAMILY AND FRIENDS DEEPER THAN ANY BULLET.

— Tony, did you read the account of the crime or are you just inventing scenarios out of thin air?

Ands its a good thing that one of the scars he didnt leave was for uninvolved bystanders getting hit by one of the bullets HE fired!
