TAWP Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 The difference between the police and the maffia is that the former doesn't kill everyone that cross them. What do we have here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they paid with interest. Different values? I believe someones life would be the ultimate price to pay. I am pro-capitol punishment. But I do not believe in travel back to the "dark ages" when we punish someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
