docshock13 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Sending a message to the President by blowing up women and children. Barbaric cowards. If you have something to say or want to fight, take off your balaclavas and stop hiding behind women and children and religion and duke it out like real men.
