    • There’s a lot of people that need to receive hand chopping for a variety of criminal offenses but it will never happen. Our new progressive society is right on schedule thanks to those in power.

      • Are these people the worst people? Yes. But inflicting pain on them? That just makes you an animal just like them. Lock them up, and ignore them.
