I guess it’s not enough that Pablo the “migrant” gets everything free from luxury hotel accommodations,to Michelin star food, free smartphone, free metro cards, free medical care, etc. oh well. votes have consequences. i wonder how the victim voted? and i wonder if Pablo phoned home to his cartel buddies telling them how easy it was to commit a crime here. come one come all, the city run by clowns.
