Well done STF. No any excuse for underworld.
There are many more criminal gangs of all races that need to be totally erased from the face of the earth by our heroic STF. No mercy. Today’s war is with them, to free SL from the evil menace. Our enemies may use them to plot assasinations of VVIPs.
The criminals are all over the place. They are an integral part of society and should be rehabilitated rather than being executed.
