    Oh!, Jebbie
    Do you know if adnoto was there and if so, in what capacity?

    Thanks for that cheeky little post. That's the first time I've laughed all week. -- ethics_professor

    Do you fucking people ever listen to yourselves or bother to think about what you are saying/writing? That's funny? Why because you don't like me? Because I have been telling you shit you haven't wanted to hear?

    The idea that I might be forced to submit, handcuffed, berated, intimidated, threatened or otherwise abused is funny? The idea that this happens alot these raids.... that innocent people are often intmidated, beaten and even sometimes killed by the state's enforcers is funny? What if I was your son or daughter? What if those kids were your kids?

    How bad does it have to get before it isn't funny anymore? If I had been an outspoken Jew who was thrown on a train headed to out of town, Jebbie would have thought it was a good time to make a joke?

    There is something wrong with you people. I am literally both shaking with rage and sick to my stomach. You disgust me.
