Is it this bad now in this country

Kidnapping is a very serious offence that traumatises the victim & family. Unfortunately criminals are seeing it as a very easy way to make millions. Something drastic needs to be done to curb it like public firing squad or beheading. Something that will deter other kidnappers. Just set example with one culprit. C'ést finis!

this is what you get when a certain tribe priority is to give birth like rats
there are other things the can channel their energy into to avoid this excesses
