When it comes to crime I just can't see how anyone can vote for a regime that promotes it. Almost a century in business and has to close the door. We are closing the door to our future America

It’s mind boggling…where are the Government Officials? Are they supposed to promote/keep businesses? Looks to me that from the top POTUS to the local government, they’re all THUG-FRIENDLY.
