  1. Googled & etc…. the names….
    A lot of interesting additional subversive related background info on a number of them.

  2. These aren’t kids, they knew what they were doing, planned it in fact. They should do some time in an adult facility that will take some of their freedoms away, just what they were trying to do to others. I hope more of their kind are arrested and put away. And to heck with releasing them, let them stew awhile.
