Horrible story & I can’t believe I have to block people for responses on an international tragedy
Nobody needs an assault crowd. We need common sense crowd laws. Nobody needs more than 8 people in a crowd. Your pal, Brandon 🤣
What's wrong with people these days? Prayers to all the injured and the family who lost loved ones. It's scary to leave home these days.
What a way to go
