Isn’t life interesting for spoiled and privileged adult children. I guess he needed another life lesson. This time he’s not going to get off as easy.
Very Suspicious, this guy gets by with more than anyone else… because why?
Appears to be selective enforcement of laws anyone else would go to court for 🤷🏼
Sympathy for the father He should have been arrested for his last offense when he was rescued by the Police without charges Get him help before a tragedy happens
Maybe the police should have taken proper action last year when this knucklehead was pulled over. Thank goodness no one was killed.
If we were to follow the leads of certain politicians, we would now be talking about launching an investigation into the “Wood crime family” and the impeachment of the mayor.
If Woods used his political office to keep his kid out of criminal trouble, that’s exactly what should happen.
If he and his family are grifters making money off his political position then that is exactly what should happen…like it should have happened for OBiden years ago.
