cmh_sprint Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 I remember hearing about this a while ago. That guy is a piece of shit. I hope he gets shanked.+1 but only after a few of the guys use him as their play toy for a few months. Unfortunately he most likely won't be in general population.
