Karl Marx Pierson is another success story of the Marxist Indoctrination Center (fka government schools). You don’t hear HOMESCHOOLERS do it.
Timothy McVeigh?
Just saying.
Why do all these boy murderers look like something out of an Edvard Munch painting? Does being horribly gawky have something to do with their internal anger?
