    MESH (http://bit.ly/28Z1QPh ) reports Sanford Mayor Jeff Triplett was outside about 2:15 a.m. when three men approached, pointed a gun at him and stole his car keys.

    Police say the suspects also stole Triplett’s wallet before driving off in his Mercedes.

    Triplett gave a detailed description of the suspects to police and 18-year-old Jermine Jacques Horne and a 17-year-old were arrested a short time later. The third suspect has not been caught. It was not immediately known if either suspect had a lawyer.

    Triplett said, “Being a victim of a crime is unnerving, yet it was reassuring to witness both speed and diligence from the Sanford Police Department.”

    Sanford is about 25 miles northeast of Orlando.

    What’s so surprising is that the suspects arrested are Black and the victim is white!
    It must and does show white privilege caused this unfortunate situation that these poor young disadvantaged black teens find themselves in!
    The preceding hyperbole was brought to you by the leftist worldwide !

    The scum who were arrested (judging by the French name), were from Haiti. They must be deported, and further immigrants from Haiti should be curtailed. We have enough problems here, without bringing those low lifes here.
