“I just wanted to tag you,” Ramos replied. “I’m very confused. Why?” he replied.
“Thanks for tagging you“, he snapped.” No, it just scares me fr (for freak or freaky – derogatory way of saying phenomenon). “I barely know you and you tag me in a photo with some weapons,” the conversation ended that day.
