Did “Mrs Counterfeit Checks Car deal” and “Mr I shot em, you don’t have to hurry 9-1-1 dialer” have a child? I don’t remember seeing that on the articles….........
LOL this is funny. Rent-to-own is the biggest rip-off that there is…so somebody rips off the crooks.
Not saying what this guy did was right, just funny.
Sometimes,just for a laugh, I read the fine print in the ads. That $2000 TV will likely cost you $6000+ before you get it paid for. Nice racket there.And it’s perfectly legal.
We sure have our fair share of idiots in this area.
This one qualifies for the freak show of morons that we’ve had in the news lately.
