My heart bleeds for them too. And Uganda is reportedly 80% Christian. They are also disarmed by the UN and doing their best to “play fair” by UN rules [unlike muslim nations]. We need those Christian people armed — every home — so they can defend themselves. But their clergy has been educated in Western-influenced colleges I bet, limp wristed gun control type thinking which poisons their doctrine studies.
excellent compilation.
glancing at just a few changes my mind about what’s going on.

You guys heard this story?
Don’t see a FR thread on it.
In 1982 a German man raped and murdered his French stepdaughter. Germany refused to extradite him for some reason.
A couple years ago the real father had some guys kidnap the German and smuggle him across the border. Now he’s on trial and so is the father for kidnapping him.
