Attack credibility attack motive attack records attack likes attack dislikes attack clothing attack autos attack attack attack attack attack. Anything and everything including the kitchen sink but stay the he** away from his GUILT.

Vicious vile out for blood willing to do/say whatever it takes to protect the dementia don from ever being held accountable responsible for his actions and words? We will see if VICIOUS is valorous/victorious and wins and truth is the victim.
