i just realize that u are an atheist, bro I don't talk to people who don't believe in God

She didnt commit any crime, her crime was hiding her son from the police of which i know any good mother wouldnt hand over her son to the police after sustaining a gun shot, even if she knew her son was an armed rubber, she would still treat him cos she cnt stand watching him in pain
