2. The poor family..... I feel for all of them, this includes the wounded,
the ones who will suffer PTS for years/lifetime. The cost is huge, I wonder if its worth it.

yikes.

7. ITS NOT WORTH IT
There are thousands of Vets with PTSD ( Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). Thousands of families ruined because of the last ADVENTURE. The Chimpanzee is out to rewrite history. It is up to us to expose these creatures before they ruin more lives.

11. Probablly more we didn't hear about yesterday
the pooldle coming in to town may have caused a blackout, there'll more than likely be an upsurge in incidents this weekend to cover attacks yesterday.
