That's some classic Dolcefino right there. Opens and bookends the feature with a bunch of melodramatic bull**** about the shocking, horrible, heartbreaking "crime" of taking down bandit campaign signs. And, oh by the way....he may have had something to do with cartel trafficking.
Smokie was a well known character, mainly known for using the black deputies league to go around calling any attempts at employee discipline "racist." And the FBI was racist, the US Attorneys were racist, and his jury was racist.
But he's running to take over a constable's office that has only ever been known for selling badges and hiring friends, so it's not going to be a big change if he wins.
