Publius……..C’mon dude….I expected you to at least have an opinion when an innocent 9 yr. old child gets shot. Are you that much ‘out of the loop’ & think that it can’t happen to you and yours? Seriously? It looks like the bloggers on HiH are doing what businesses in your area have done….they have all left.
Deception, you just can’t help yourself can you?
Poor lonely Decept. Won’t anyone come out and play with you?
