    Sometimes our judicial system does not work. Can’t believe he’s about to be freed.

      Hey Tomlinson. I understand how you are feeling. At this point he has returned to his house. What a strange day….with how fast the news broke and his release. Thanks for the feedback.

      Hey G. Vandross. This was a request from many moons ago. Debated if I should do the page or not….in the end…he got a page….but not sharing it on any of the social media platforms I usually use. I agree with your comment….but his off the camera activities make watching his shows and movies more than a little uncomfortable.
