These kids are going to have scars. It’s acne to the 10th power. And some of these appear to be children.
What a horrible thing to do to children.
What, no rubber ball?
I tried wearing a mask while shaving. It did not go well....
As Ron White likes to say, “You Can’t Fix Stupid”!
You need to put up a thread just about this. Most people don’t know it.

This cr*p has brought out the worst and weirdest things in people.
