The face and eyes say it all...F-U and "I am a killer." Well tough guy, guess what, maybe you'll meet a guy 8 feet tall hard as metal, where he'll disrepect you, making you sit bare bottom on his plate, in the last seconds before your miserable "life" ends. Have a nice death....murderer.

Chambers has a better chance of getting convicted in Montgomery County, compared to PG.
PG County prosecutors and police homicide unit just are not as good as their Montgomery County counterparts.

Another black thug preying on a brown victim. Sad, but hardly unusual.

This thug has danced to the rain drop several times without getting wet. This time there will be no way out. I hope mama don't come and say "my kid is a good kid".
