Apr 2013

but we see the internet was wrong the first time with those 2 guys , and the 2nd time with the missing boston student.

now i'm feeling really bad for the family of the missing student. they are already dealing with him having gone missing but to have people accusing him of those horrible attacks to just add to it.
