KStateKing17 08/03/17 9:06:32 AM #3:	I'd definitely give the last two a chance. The second one maybe considering how long it's been plus it being one time. The first one...maybe if she had less charges, but I think she could have a role in helping former felons if she improved well enough to be a candidate for mayor. --- Mains: Xiaoyu/Zafina (Tekken)-Dhalsim (SF)-Jax (MK) Luong/Yamazaki/Joe (KoF) <cite>KStateKing17 posted [p:884104057] in Half of De...
