[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRx8aXaJ_Cs[/media] What do you guys think?

I think it is [media] [editline]12th March 2012[/editline] half way through and he really isn't addressing the points people are having questions/disagreements about

I've heard a lot about some controversy around what they're really up to. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Lol yeah he doesn't address any of the questions about their shady actions he just does his PR speech

It's like if I killed someone and outran the cops for 20 years, and they'd be like "well you beat us fair and square, lad, no prison for you! Have a nice day!"

BUT HEY I GUESS IT'S MORE NICE TO KILL A MAN AS IT IS TO KILL A CHILD.

And then someone would ask people to donate to those who don't have jurisdiction to go after you so that they are better trained to catch you. Doesn't make sense.

I think it would be a lot funnier if he was wearing gold chains and diamond rings.
