See how demented this young man is. If he says he is a member of a cult and not an armed robber let the police pin every crime perpetrated by the cult in that area on him. Or does being a cultist give any one the right to carry firearms? Later it will be plea bargain. This is the legacy that even the ruling class has let for the youth who are stupid enough to do their bidding.
