Who are the neighbors, the Judge and the ignorant Jury who would agree with the exchange of a human life for some cats who have no soul!! I don’t care about the animal lovers society. Black people have been treated like animals since before many of us were even born! But if you all haven’t realized by now that black people are chosen by God after reading this story then I really don’t know what more you need. Long live Igor Hamilton!!!
Hey YaMAMA,
His story is touching. And it’s so horrible that he faced such a terrible death sentence for an act that should have been a more mild penalty.
