I’ve seen him in action and he shoots to kill. I like the guy.
Here I thought these ruff tuff holy warriors were too busy screwing their 13 yo boytoys to complain. The motto out there is “A boy for pleasure, a woman for babies, a sheep for the real thing!”
Well depending on which end your on it can be hell or it can be a video game.

One of our biggest mistakes with these psychos is to let them think
