there's enough angry mikes in the world that I could see a bunch of guys with that 'go get em' attitude running around the streets with guns pulling foreigners they didn't like or were paranoid about out of their homes and putting them in prison camps ... again.
the death toll from this is horrific. How could someone become so angry & twisted that they take the lives of that many children.
