DUMPSTER FIRES DURING A RIOT.
THE INCIDENT HAPPENED LAST JULY

USE THE NAME RAY RECESION

HERO, SOME KIND OF PERSON AND
DISTRUCTIVE TO TRAUMA AGAIN AND

AGAINST HIM ALLEGATIONS.
>> SO THERE IS MODERN DAY AND
HE IS DENIED ALL ALLEGATIONS.
HE HELD A SZOOM CALL WITH
REPORTERS YESTERDAY WHERE HE
DIDN'T TAKE ANY QUESTIONS BUT
HE DID CALL THE ALLEGATIONS AN
EXAMPLE OF QUOTE CANCEL CULTURE
AND DESPITE DENYING THAT HE
ABUSED ANYONE MIND THAT I SAID

NOTE THE FORMS HAVE TO BE
TURNED INTO YOUR COUNTY NOT THE

HOLIDAY LIGHTS AND DECORATIONS
WITH LINES OF PEOPLE IN CARS
TOURING THAT DISPLAY.
I WAS WONDERING HOW THEY WOULD
HANDLE THINGS THIS YEAR ON
PEACOCKE LANE OBVIOUSLY.
