    It is wrong for persons to have unlicensed fire arms. It is wrong to steal unless you're the NDP.

    The system is unfair as some people get NO charge with a gun while others name are all over the media because they do not support the NDP or they are not some one’s Private Secretary

    If this continues there will be a serious revolution Yeap BLOOD IN THE STREETS in the place and take warning. We must play by the same rules for ALL!!!

      But there is a common denominator in that each side has totally upended politics as we know it, injecting a revolutionary style that appeals to the down and out, no matter how feasible their ability to deliver actually is.
