  1. These are nothing but idle men that have done a great number of wicked and unforgiving deeds in society... It makes one ponder if these men have a heart and “what” or “who” is/ are the root of all their engagements? For the actions in which they sequentially execute in total "no mercy" style is quite awing and mind boggling. In the mean time, Let justice be served!
