Another pathetic and sad excuse for a man. No amount of violence he perpetrates will ever change the fact that he is forever one of life's losers.

That description is pathetic. A black man with jeans and a hoodie?

Yeah, but he is also wearing white sneakers with red stripes on the soles.

That should help narrow down all potential suspects.

Yep, another black criminal.
