Don't worry guys. Congress is on this. Instead of assassinating US citizens they are working on a bill which strips citizens of their citizenship. This way they aren't technically killing citizens...


Oh thank god. I was so worried. *whew*

I don't know, a hellfire missle has an effective radius of like... 200 feet.

For example... take a loot at this guy killed at a funeral.

Surely just like they say there were probably almost no innocent people at a funeral, i mean... who goes to those?

It's all coworkers... not friends and family!
