"Look, I know I’m not one to say what does or does not happen, but I think we should just put him out of his misery and du but a piece of white trash" Curtis looked more upset than Katie had ever seen him

Travis stood up and said softly, "Curtis, this is soether Seriously, in this world, I feel everyone has a chance Even the local crack dealer"

"Meth dealer," Curtis corrected

Katie stood up as well and said in a low voice, "But at the same time we need to make sure our safety isn’t compromised by people who have no idea of hoith the community"

Travis looked at her, startled, and said, "A hu, Katie"

"Yes, but at the same time, ill he add to our community? If he honestly sacrificed others to save his own life and those people were his friends, then hoe knoon’t do the same to us?" Katie looked at him very intently

Shane, the redneck who had punched out Katie, turned and laughed

"Ah, c’mon, they just stand there with their mouths open"

Next to him was his best buddy, Phil "Yeah, Travis, they’re just a bunch of dead dumb fucks"

"You’re stirring them up Coan to laugh "C’irlfriend and lighten up"

Shane whipped out his cock and waggled it at Katie before turning, drinking his beer, and urinating over the edge down onto the zo her head
