I heard that Ted Nugent thinks going to east LA and hunting people like 'hogs' is a good idea roguevalley Jul 2013 #10

Good point. Like Nugent, Zimmerman might end up on NRA board. Hoyt Jul 2013 #11

Peddo Teddo shit his pants at the very thought of that kind of violence. Its easy for him to talk Erose999 Jul 2013 #107
