3. This was the guy who used to fly over the ocean, and throw victims out, hancuffed and hooded

He would also take his victim's children, and give them away to rich right wing families

Just a sick fuck all around

5. Argentina is great.

They have been convicting these fascist bastards and sentencing them to long prison terms; I can only dream that America would do that to it's own fascist bastards.
