Nothing will give me more personal satisfaction than to see this dirtbag who murdered my friend Rick put down like a dog. As a long time Reserve Police Officer in Massachusetts, I wait unfailingly to see this through and have some bit of justice served to his memory. This sociopath has less humanity than a sewer rat.

"They will hurt you. They will hurt your grandma, these people. The root cause of this is there's no discipline in the homes, they don't go to school, you know, they live off the government, no personal accountability, and they just beat people up for no reason, and it's disgusting." - Former Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters
