Disgusting situation. Documentaries showing how some people have live are shocking and heartbreaking.

They say that don’t have enough evidence to charge Snyder with involuntary manslaughter but other higher ups will take the fall. Please let it be known that he is not being held responsible. Did not fool people into thinking he will pay for his crime if he won’t.

He will get 10 days of community service which he will perform at his country club.

I'm old enough to Remember when ElonMusk* said he’d clean Flint water in a matter of months zzzzzzz Meanwhile back at the ranch his* sports car is still in space with the blinker on

I guess it’s true that the wheels of justice turn slow.

If your actions poison a city's water supply you have to be held accountable!

He’s a racist, too. Undoubtedly.

Rick Snyder is a true fascist.
