Ooooh geez! What we're these little angel's doing driving through that beautiful neighborhood at that hour? Hmmm giving out blankets to the homeless so they keep warm? Oh no that's not it! They were looking to do some community service to improve the quality of that neighborhood. Yeah but somebody beat them to the opportunity by removing them from society.
