Good😄

He should’ve killed more pigs if u ask me. Where they holding buddy at? I’m bout stock his canteen to the max!

I have to wonder. Had Officer Caprio successfully defended her life and shot him, if she would have been accused of shooting an unarmed teen. Thank God they at least had to body cam footage for evidence so they could get the conviction

That was unkind of him.

Good. Sad to see a good white officer go. Judge should have been harder on him.

He was 16 when the crime happened and police officers are already aggravating so this unnecessary

You wanna do adult crimes then you gotta but your big boy pants on and do adult time.

What a world.

Video showing Orange County teens giving Nazi salute sparks outrageThe group, reportedly from Pacifica High School in Garden Grove, is seen giving a Nazi salute while a German World War II-era song plays in the background. I repeat: the First Amendment freedom of expression should not be absolute. Germany has it right. There was a group of 4-6 teenage boys (some POC) in my high school who would hang out in the same spot of the quad everyday, carving & drawing swastikas & laughing as they’d give Nazi salutes to the others as they’d walk past. They thought it was hilarious. Teenagers are stupid. It’s ORANGE COUNTY. What did you expect?
