“Graves County”…..how appropriate.
And another WOT right in my home of Saint Paul.
Roper tried being ruthless…in Boaz…oh, the irony.
How come the criminal element seems to have such a high casualty rate?
It’s a threefer here, and these mopes aren’t very successful at their chosen line of work.
Does anyone besides me think there’s some kind of message here?
I’m guessing their college career counselor led them astray?
I mean, lets be honest….its a saturated career field.
Well, the phrase “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes” comes to mind . . . .
“Victim?” Timothy Roper is hardly a victim of anything other than his own bad decisions.
Mutter, mumble…
