Zero to no investigation into a matter of huge importance involving child protection. It's my opinion the district attorney was untruthful in a court of law

Hm. Trying to be the bigger lion and let the females keep trying to extort from me with police help is getting old. Old Very old Females are too quickly believed like the ones who framed me for bulllllllshhhhiiitt And the city attorney is funny trying to deny that I can rent a senior home. Yes one con was so obvious that I rented a senior home for a year four years ago and didnt pay hmmm. I'm 36. Hmm how?? Ahhh this is a joke isn't it. Truth is Williston offers complete protection, yes. At walmart you can buy that expensive deodorant that offers complete protection as far as rigged juries and people being framed better have your ducks in a row. Duck men get framed. Duck be nicer to woman. Duck be nicer to our government who is over and under paid.

The worst states attorney in the United States. Throws temper tantrums in court when he doesn't get his way. Will argue that the sky is blue.
