HOLY FUCKING SHIT WHY ARE PEOPLE SUCH FUCKING ASSHOLES 


Further proof that in this country if you are poor and a person of color people will shit all over you and walk all over you because they don’t think you deserve a better life.


I bet if it was a white kid pulling this shit they’d be getting praise and accolades all over the place for being such a paragon of industry and self-sacrifice
not fucking spending the night in jail because they had to work to feed their siblings and do homework in between.
fuck everything

some ridiculous shit.
