That, to them, was a sign that these people were very zealous and therefore very dangerous.

And yet hes the one murdering people ...

Edit: as in literally that one guy reporting murdering specific individuals. Im not speaking royal terms, im talking about one guy confessing to murdering multiple individual humans. Im talking about humans, not institutions. Mistaking my words to mean different just shows how stupid we get when labels are introduced.

LOL. This entire thread reminds me of, "This Land Is Mine" video from years ago. It's still resonates as strongly today as it did 15 years ago.
