  1. Aye Hygiana, know your place! Don’t bunch us! Furthermore, you probably have more crime where you live so stop acting like you live in the garden of Eden. Wait for the facts to come out. In case you were not reading, it was in the midst of a fight. It may not even meet the standard for murder when all is said and done.
