It's like you can smell 'em just by looking at 'em. blech. Ugly, smelly, AND evil -it's a trifecta.

Meth is a helluva drug

Seeing accounts like this, and seeing the people who did it makes me rage like no other.
Real big losers here, who probably thing that they are wronged all of the time.
yuck.

You all know that I normally object to comments about appearances...people can't always help the way the look. Having said that, these faces do not go with these ages.

We allow this type of existence in the name of freedom. Some people can't choose for theirselves. They need guidance and limitations to prevent them from becoming this.

Wisdom while I'll agree it sucks that turd eaters like these three exist, I'd rather not give up my freedoms based on their actions.

With these three in jail, the demand for meth on the street should see a notable drop.

#1 That guy on the bottom - shave his head & he would look like the guy who ate gophers in the movie; O Brother where art though. #2 They are white, look like they do meth, that's enough for me. They are guilty.

Too bad the SAME horror they did to that innocent lady can not be inflicted on them.
They will get off easy no matter what senctence they get. It's this new society we have that makes my wife carry a pistol.

The one on bottom looks to be about one or two tweak binges away from tearing bugs from under his skin. I wish him the best of luck removing the bugs from under his skin and I hope he finds them all.

Carol Thomas was a drug dealer who sold rock salt in lieu of drugs to at least one of those who would murder her.
There are no victimless drug crimes.
Finger a drug dealer today.

For someone who normally rails against sex - parkay seems blissfully ignorant of the double entendre of his/her post.
