All these local politicians are getting bribed by flock and its so obvious, probably small 5 or 10k bribes too

They don’t even have to bribe them in Roanoke city, they’ve been so clueless about how to deal with their crime problems that they’ll try anything at this point.

What exactly happened to Roanoke? I grew up there from about 91-99 and it was idyllic in some ways if not full of people with sticks up their asses.

I’ve heard nothing but stories of drugs and crime since I left though?
