  1. Lets see how fast Gascon kicks him loose to fuel the demand. People, please stop messing with this stuff and creating this demand.

  2. Glad Orlando Espisita was arrested before he could sell more!

  3. We need to have stricter laws like Russia!! Great job to the team that caught this LOSER!! We need to fund for more departments that find losers like this out on the streets!!

  4. $55,000 bail, this guy will get out before you know it. All he needs is $5,000 and he’s on the run.

  5. Thanks to the Liberals & Gas-Con, his Homies will be there in an hour & it will be back on the streets selling more, laughing all the way!
