Another sticking in nitwit Stevie’s so safe El Paso.
Sadly, family emotions run high this time of year. Too bad.
Charming family! I am sure that they are pillars of society!
Where is her mugshot and who is going to pay for the hospital bill? Probably the tax payer.
Santa is not going to be happy.
Why did you have to ask for her mugshot?? I just lost my dinner.
