The plot thickens with tapioca this time.

Its gonna be so thick by the time this fucker has to answer for his views as a sworn law enforcement officer, that the media will need to bring a jackhammer eventually to break his bullshit apart.

What are you hiding Sheriff Hanlin? I thought you were proud to stand up for your views and tell the government what’s what when it happened to ‘those other people and their little children’.

The scary thing is that there actually are people in this country that believe that a bunch of children were drilled by Obama to become actors, and stage their own deaths then move away under Witness Protection…all for a propaganda coup to take away the guns of LAW-'BIDIN MURKANS.

Yet another example of the sad legacy of Reagan closing all the mental hospitals and turning the kooks loose in the streets.
