The insane murder cult damages or destroys what it touches.

Katherine Russell, before being brainwashed.

"At this point, what [an angry voiced " the hell" is implied here since I'm pounding my fists and yelling] does it matter? Americans are DEAD and nothing is going to bring them back whether it was a tastless video or just a bomb!"

Which means that the FBI has a recording of the Trayvon Martin/Rachel Jeantel phone call.

I am reminded of the Patty Hearst involvement of several decades ago , and a medical condition called " Stockholm Syndrome ".

I guess the depth of moral and religious commitment to your companion would contribute to "until death do you part ",
and your willingness to OPSEC .
It is one thing to be aware ;
it is another thing to actively contribute , aid , and abet .

I wonder how many years and how many lawyers will be needed to analyze it all and decide.
