  • 494 Murders in 2017

    63 in January 2018 -- a record for January

    Give this lady THE CROWN --  PLLLEEEAAASSEEE!!!

  • Very sickening and sad. Nobody cares. Is we time now.

  • "Checks with sources at the Homicide Bureau of Investigations revealed that Asami’s case is still very much active, but no new leads have been forthcoming ...[NOBODY EH CALL]."
