I’m just plain sickened at these types of atrocities perpetrated on innocent people. I have nothing else to say because it just might draw wrath by others stating that I’m being prejudiced against a government that allows this type of crap to happen. I’m sorry, but I just can’t help being just a little pissed off at extremist religion.
Y LOS DERECHOS HUMANOS?????????
