Prayers up
Prayers up for certain.
Good job, Elk Grove Police Officer. Nice shooting...
Can Eureka borrow those officers to take out the trash on the lawn of the Humboldt County courthouse
I live in Commiefornia. The Politicos just outlawed Open Carry. Getting a Concealed Carry Permit is near impossible unless you are a certain U.S. Senator or the buddy of a Local Sheriff.
You can't own an Assault Rifle, or any Rifle or Pistol that has more than a ten shot magazine. Gun Owners are looked upon as a threat to the Socialist Order.
Again I ask, how did this happen?
My nephew is a CHP in that area
Rancid thug is dead = GOOD RIDDANCE!
PRAYING for the officer.
Did "the officer" multiply on his way to the vehicle? Or was this written by a product of the teachers' union?
