Tell me if this dude had pump action in his home? Don't you think he would had resisted them? What if there was a whistle blower, and the the next thing DSS will swing into action and begin to act like commando? The next thing is accused p.d.p or past administration for plotting coup only God would save us in this country. R.I.P guy.
Very sad..
So so sad. Can't look at the pictures. Why is the world so wicked. I can't hold my tears.
Its a pity

Exactly!!! All the guns are with the bad guys. The good guys wait for police to investigate after the act. When will this stop. We say legalize fire arms in this country! #legalizefirearms
