Fire Shelby Thames

BlackCat

The fight against the Shelby Junta will be carried on - not always seen, but always there until dignity, respect, ethics, and morality are restored to USM. BlackCat is here until the job is done. "There is power, there is power in a band of working folk when they stand hand in hand."
