  • I'm surprised how aware these kids are of their situation. Like, "We are like this for these reasons" no bullshit taken/said. Afterall, it must be hard to stop doing what everyone else around you is doing, plus the lack of means to fix the situation doesn't help.

  • wow

  • *sigh*

  • This is what happens when uncivilized people get guns! Thank Obama !

  • your country created this mess in 2006. so thank bush

  • And we import them to America by the boat loads taking away this countries resources and contributing almost nothing. If you can't fix your own country first then don't come here.
