These people have been around for ages. Self flagellation. Self harm. It’s nothing I understand but they’ve been here for a long long time.
I’d love to see the hag hillary do this to curry favor of the voters.

Stopped reading at “Boulder”.
Millenials and the Grungers are in love with body piercings.
Yeah, let’s keep it all private and hidden until one of these creeps gets seriously injured and starts looking for a lawyer. People today have no self-control, no self-respect and no idea of the old Judeo-Christian principle of The Body is a Temple.

Because it’s Boulder!
The Lakota included suspension by hooks through the flesh as part of their Sun Dance ritual.
I’m going to vote for “batsh*t crazy.”

They think they’re resurrecting ancient indian rituals that will give them insight and purpose. Unfortunately, they’re deluded and it will end badly. Maybe now, maybe 50 years from now but it will end badly.
They rented an apartment too small to put a bed in.
Hot plate, crapper, wash basin and sleeping hook!
Vampire Aliens?
Are they stupid, crazy people or crazy, stupid people?
> Because it’s crazy people on drugs

When you overtly reject God you have to find something profoundly astonishing to fill the void.
