What fine young men. How proud their parents must be.
The Crystal Lake fight club takes it to the streets.
This is why you should carry concealed all the time,
because you never know when you may “encounter” one of these
fine citizens.
Remember – when seconds count, police are just minutes away.
story completely checks out.
These fine young men will not have a good time in jail where I think they will meet some real mobsters…
Congratulations to the parents who did not post the bail for their sons.
Someone could have been killed.
Kudos to the Crystal Lake Police and other agencies.

Can we get an update on the “victims” that were trying to sell $800 worth of drugs?
Both sides of this are garbage, but only one side continues to get reported.
