Why is this supprising?
Don’t you mean “why is this NOT Surprising???” This is the reality of the ghetto Des Moines has become. Our city govnerment is letting this place go to hell and stories like this are becoming the norm.
I was asking “why is this supprising” based on the fact that dead bodies on pack highway are pretty much expected.
The people of Des Moines really don’t care though, why else would they have voted the way they did in the recent election. The citezens of DM voted to keep the same people in office who have presided over the mess previously.
I don’t understand, if you expect a different outcome, why keep doing the same thing.
