Ok fair enough. A non-violent seperatist who ended up being charged with only two misdemeaners is a twat. 

What are the people who:
Killed the dog.
Killed a retreating kid by shooting him in the back.
Killed a mother with a 10 month old baby in her arms.
Lied in court.
Paid out millions in damages for their crimes.
?

You probably don't want to keep these gems.

Why not?

Toxic
