Woman Assaulted Black Boy After Telling Him He ‘Did Not Belong’ at Pool, Officials Say

"“Love is the glue of human society,” Harold says. “We can’t live without it.”
Good thing he shoved up, then, and agreed to share the bench."


There is nothing first about it.

Sooner is better.   As soon as you can is best.
