  1. Where are these “Low Lifes” coming from?

  2. Discrimination, a good word: The ability to discern good from bad————Just like “shame” the Liberal Wokeheads like to fool people by changing good traits/behaviors to bad to cover up horrible behaviors/lifestyles! Wake up, not Woke up Sheeple!

  3. 14 of the 23 arrested were from outside the SCV. That means 9 arrested are our neighbors.
