Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.
Jaden Hernandez says
I heard on the streets that a group of Palmdale citizens is creating a multi million dollar organization called Citizens Patrol. They plan to hire thousands of private investigators to hunt down drug dealers and drug cartels in the antelope valley. They plan to give the DEA the information they find. They locate drug cartels easy.

I finally realized out why AAUSD named their high school after the murderer Tiburcio Vásquez.
Because democrats worship criminals
Tim Scott says

Acasta says
You forgot to mention Gays Against Groomers. They also have a booth. Or was it done intentionally?
