Thank you’s from Texas
I live in Waco and am sad that it happens anywhere. Thanks for arresting these people. Praying for their souls and victims and law enforcement, volunteers. It’s sad people would prey on the innocent like this. What a difficult job to have to be on the front lines of this depravity.
There should be one punishment for these bastards. Casteration
