- "He's in a legal black hole": John Letts and Sally Lane have condemned the Home Office decision to strip their son Jack of his British citizenship, saying they are shocked that the government would act without contacting their son first and with seemingly no form of redress. Jack Letts also has Canadian citizenship through his father.
Tonight the government there said 'Canada is disappointed that the United Kingdom has taken this unilateral action to off-load their responsibilities.'
Your son had left his comfortable life and committed treason, what is there to argue about?
Now imagine that person is a family member or close loved friend. Would you have any mercy in your heart for them .
One day you might need someone who doesn't know you or love you to grant you the same courtesy . Only then should one be worthy to receive such a gift.
@@toadinthehole8085 no I wouldn't at all I would look at them as an enemy for the rest of my life. it's easy for him to say he only fought against the Syrian regime but I'm pretty sure he committed atrocities, all ISIS members have dealings in suffering and barbaric punishments for anyone that slightly steps out of line in there idiotic ideology.
He wanted to know what it w as like killing a human being, he is nothing different than one of the Nazi's guards who tormented and murdered helpless persons, I have nothing but contempt for this excuse for a human being.
@@toadinthehole8085 NONE!
Father: “UK’s decision was disappointing”
The world: what’s disappointing is the fact you don’t realize your son is the disappointment... to mankind.
well said mate 👍 he is a stain on pants of all societies. let him suffer.
yes
but right!
Open your eyes and realise, your son is nothing but a murder and rapist "Fact" 🤔 you talk about your son having rights, he didn't give a toss about his victims rights, wake up and smell the coffee.
Totally agree with your opinion.
Just because he confesses to be an idiot does not make him less of a traitor. Why should anyone want him??? The British owe jack nothing!!
Father doesn't believe his son has done anything wrong. That's worrying in itself
Woke parents... and their son.
He didn't want to join is. He didn't even know what they stood for.
He's beyond a nut. He wants justification, he already has the justification.
I will reserve my pity for the poor souls in Syria your son killed.
He was an adult at least in age. He made a bad decision. But his parents think he just stoled a candy bar or something. Adult decisions come with adult consequences.

Agree. Why should it be UK problem
Tricky Dicky my friend was in army in Syria from Toronto sed most of ISIS have American weapons M16 rifle
ISIS IS TRUE ISLAM
JIHAD IN SHARIA LAW
"Whoever cheerfully accepts Allah, Islam and Muhammad is entitled to enter Paradise. But there is another act which elevates the position of a man in Paradise to a grade one hundred times higher, Jihad in the way of Allah! Jihad in the way of Allah!" SM 20:4645.
The very next saying confirms what this jihad in the name of Allah is,
"In case you are killed in the way of Allah and you always fought facing the enemy, never turning your back upon him your sins will be blotted out." SM 20:4646.
WHAT IS THE OBJECTIVE OF JIHAD
QURAN 24:55 Allah has promised to those of you who believe that He will most certainly make you rulers in the earth, and that He will most certainly establish for them their religion which He has chosen for them.
NOTE: There are 33 deception verses in the three main books of Islam and so allowing Islamic preachers to inform you and so followers of Islam will only result in you receiving the wrong information.
😂😂
His father is so selfish “ how Jack will feel when he hears the decision about revocation of his citizenship “??? How did the other families feel when jack murdered and beheaded their family and love ones ?😫
you have loyalty to your family, always
Who did he behead?
Who did he behead though? And don't you think it's a double standard that a british person can join the IDF, kill innocent people and he is seen a hero, but with ISIS they're seen as a terrorist even if they might not have killed anyone? I'm against both the IDF and ISIS very strongly but I think it's ridiculous that people actually support the IDF
@@mohammedyakub3760 they're literally a terrorist group. Stop defending em ffs
Who says a British person can join the IDF. They can take away your citizenship in America for joining a foreign army. Unless you have dual Israeli and British citizenship, I’m not sure you can join IDF without your citizenship being stripped. In any case. No. Your crazy. The IDF and ISIS do not compare. The IDF just goes around beheading children and burning people alive? Evidence?
After listening to his parents, I completely understand his sense of entitlement. For the first time in his life, he has to suffer the consequences of his actions.
When a lifetime of participation trophies finally catches up with you.
father says "more progressive ways of dealing with this"
Means "No consequences for actions"
Father says he can see why he ran off to join Isis, really!? Because that should blow your mind.
His parents are most probably career liberals. I have dealt with many such people and their children almost always end up entitled and ungrateful. They never discipline their children and they inculcate in them a mindset that the world should change itself to support them, rather than teaching them that when they want something they have to earn it. One couple I know who brought their children up in this "progressive" way now have two girls who gladly took part in assaulting a university lecturer because he refused to leave his office when they wanted to stage a protest.
@MrPippinsays Not at all. The parents took the view that the lecturer had been asking for it and actually had the gall to try to file an official complaint. The worst thing was that the university actually asked the lecturer to apologise for "antagonising the situation".
Yeah, us Canadians don’t want him either
It's quite notable how the British 'solved' this issue by pretty much leaving it to the Canadians. Love the British humor! And the british sense for diplomacy.
@@toatatoa Canadian government was disappointed in the British government for "off loading their responsibility" but I think that is just jealousy that the UK thought of the solution first. He had duel citizenship and Canada wasn't his home country so they should have purged him from their citizenry first. Stupid move on their part and absolutely brilliant on the British.
@@mortimerbrewster3671 brilliantly anti social, I agree! Britain was the boys home, their turn to take him on. He is going to stay in the incestuous commonwealthian family at least.
USA? :) he will fit into the chaos people there.
U can continue taking in immigrants canada. Totally not like that would ruin ur nation. Look at sweden and the amount of rape cases there. West is a fuckin joke in this regard.
Wouldn't it be nice if a parent came on and said "it's his own fault he's made his bed and now he can lie in it"
For real. They should be happy the brat is alive at all.
My parents would definitely say that. My parents wouldn’t play this game.

They are absolutely in denial and delusional, thinking that jack didn't do anything wrong.
And you are delusional for thinking “doing something wrong” means your home country can deny you a fair trial and revoke your citizenship.
@@Acidlib
there is a big difference in between ,,doing something wrong'' and fighting against ur own homeland, that is called treason, one of the highest crime u can do. and for that ur home country can even execute u (in certain situations)
@@laciihasz4734 ok, let them do that then, anything beyond the current policy of “whatever, not our problem anymore, let the Kurd’s deal with them” I don’t care if you have to go full Guantanamo and revoke everyone’s citizenship so they can be detained in some middle of the ocean, island black-site, at least they wouldn’t be revoking their rights in order to just “pass the buck”.
He has no remorse just like his parents. The parents were warned about his behaviour by one of his friends. But did nothing. Now they want and expect the whole of the UK to forgive and forget.
I can do the forget part
Wow. Those parents could’ve alerted the authorities and saved so many people-including their son. He would’ve received therapy in prison. Disgusting. They knew.
also America and the UK were warned many many years ago to not intervene in the Middle East because that will put their citizens in danger , and they did intervene anyway and now after all the destruction and killing of millions caused by your countries and you expect us to forget and forgive?
in your logic your government is the one to blame they are no different from this man they both wanted to kill people for stupid reasons. the difference is that hypocrites like you will justify their country's crimes and condemn sorry brainwashed individuals like this man.
instead of condemning him you could've taken him into the country make him a live example for all other teens that it's not a good choice to join terrorists groups

“I thought British citizens has certain rights.”
They do. But he’s not a British citizen anymore.

It's hard to feel empathy for someone that had high ambitions to cause harm and distress to others.
I feel absolute disgust for these people. Their son killed so many and still they are trying to play the victim card, being ignorant of his actions and are talking about justice????? Like really? Even that vile boy didn't show any remorse for the lives he has taken. Downright Sick
no its not bad he had no choice but to kill he was in isis bad situations should always be resolved what reason is for them not to be this is their son have ever had a son probably not. he should be able to live in the uk or canada if he has no criminal intention
he didn't kill anyone so you're wrong aga
Tbh he didn't kill anyone. He was in Syria to join a terrorist group but he wasn't involved in killings.
Nope he shouldn’t be allowed to return. He made his decision and he needs to deal with the consequences of that. Doesn’t matter if he killed anyone and you don’t know that he didn’t either. It’s the intent
@@ozyes9996 did he tell you that? And you believed him. Huh!
As a Canadian citizen I am disgusted that our government would even consider having these traitors come back. They knew exactly what they were doing and there should be no mercy.
He went to fight and was captured. the parents should be thankful he was not executed.
Facts
The truth is slowly coming out. First he was an aid worker working in ISIS territory, now he's admitted to being a fighter, but only fought asads forces. He's denied having a slave, he's admitted to watching executions, and now it seems the woman he married was the daughter of a senior Isis member, an honour only reserved for those most loyal to ISIS.
Now, and only now that he's been caught he denounces Isis. I wouldn't trust him one bit and wouldn't want him back to take a chance that someone will prove the lefties wrong by being murdered by him in the future.
There's still plenty of time for an execution if he's handed over to the Iraqis he might just yet end up on the end of the hangmans noose.
Yet !!
His parents have to take 100% responsibility in how he turned out. "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it". Proverbs 22 v 6.
He needs executed
Smart lad. Left an Oxfordshire organic farm for a Syrian war zone, he’s going places
Well, gone places. And not coming back.
Hopefully to the chair

Unbelievable! Parents need to face up to their failure.

The families of the men who had their heads cut off by your son , suffer worse PTSD and nightmares than these parents ever will
Never forget n forgive otherwise heathrow airport attack will recur.
Let's hope the Kurds have exacted the same justice on their son. Isis are pure evil and it's just what any of their volunteers deserve.
Right but the point is that the British government has dumped their trash on another country. Why aren't we taking this guy back and dealing with him ourselves?
@@zatarawood3588 I agree with you. A lot of these comments miss the point. It's not about whether he HAS or HASN'T done anything wrong. Of course he has, he joined ISIS. The point is, why are we being dumb and dumping a potential terrorist on a foreign country. I guess the bottom line is, people are dumb. And our government most certainly is.

The father seems as disillusioned as his son!
Thank you Sajid Javid ❤ my university lab partner was a refugee who fled isis. She lived through what you would only hear in a horror movie and people like jack are the cause for this suffering. He deserves everything he gets and my heart breaks for his mom and dad but at the end of the day people like jack are monsters that hurt both Christians and Muslims. He is a traitor to his country, his family and those who helped raise him. I believe people can change but he crossed a line that you can never turn back on. The end.
Why are we worried about leaving Jihadi Jack stateless when he left countless of victims headless?!
& the west bombed thousands...but that's ok.

because when you do that, you're making him the problem of the Kurds, who hardly have even a fraction of the infrastructure/resources his home country has to handle him. the UK is placing the burden of this guy, and other ISIS members who came from the UK, on ISIS' victims. why does no one stop to think about this?
"IF HE HAS DONE SOMETHING WRONG". I would say that joining ISIS is probably a little bit wrong.
Pun lovin criminal just a bit thou
You guys he apologized for being a terrorist though. He’s over it he decided he isn’t about dat no mo. So he wants us all to respect his feelings about the whole war in Syria thing.

Sahih Bukhari (52:256) - The Prophet... was asked whether it was permissible to attack the pagan warriors at night with the probability of exposing their women and children to danger. The Prophet replied, "They (i.e. women and children) are from them (i.e. pagans)." In this command, Muhammad establishes that it is permissible to kill non-combatants in the process of killing a perceived enemy. This provides justification for the many Islamic terror bombings.
Gazza .. that was a DAMN good point!! Wow.
Home Office made the right decision
Wow.. The entitlement from his father. Unbelievable
Why be concerned about his family, what about the families of the innocents who were wronged by their scum of a son??
Who did he kill then. . proof where is your proof .. they is not one person saying he murdered anyone . This is important because most of these people that committed such action's was quickly pointed out by locals and arrested . He wasn't one of them. Plus killing him makes you the same if not worst because he never killed anyone . However I do believe he deserves a lengthy prison sentence for leaving an joining isis, I'd put it at 10 years which in their prison is a long time. They are other options available !

@Ian Lloyd It makes sense to me. He chose a place to live and betray us. Why does he want to come back? We don't want him
Kate because he knows that whatever penalty he gets in UK, if any at all as his father mentioned there is a loophole as authorities have to prove he killed people which is nearly impossible to do given the circumstances, is far far far better than what awaits him if Syrian government gets its hands on him.
He is fleeing justice, he returns in UK stays under surveillance for next 2-5 years, he claims he is afraid for retaliation and he can even change his ID and he continues his life as nothing ever happened.
In the meantime Yazidi people have to live in fear and in pain for the rest of their lives, Syrian and Iraqi people will mourn their loved ones he killed for the rest of their lives, and theses millions on kids and young people will have their lives destroyed with no education and trauma of growing up into war.
You cant really expect any decent peace loving person here in the UK, Canada or any other country in the world for that matter to open up their arms and welcome in a wolf in sheeps clothing and believe me thats exactly what he is.
Why dont you both apply for a job with the taliban surely they would permit you citizenship a warm place to stay and you could see your son start his new job ?

Technically he pledged allegiance to ISIS which billed itself as it's own country. He renounced his citizenship when he joined a different nation. 🤷♀️
ISIS isn't a nation or a state. Its a proscribed terrorist group. Its a terrorirst group that occupied parts of Syria and Iraq. Both are countries and are real states (albiet failed ones). Only a country, a recognized state, is capable of officially annexing a cities or region such as a Russia and Crimea. . A terrorist group just occupies a space until its removed.
Basically there's little basis, within the law, for removing his citizenship if you consider the law to be binding. Which, lets be honest, the goverment doesn't like the restrictions in our current legal system. But rather than change the law and then implement the changes its dismissed it altogether. Its hard to be onboard when it's not legal and doesn't set an honest precedent.
I wanna be a patriot and applaud the decision. But i cannot in good conscience show support for something that is illegal. Whatever it may be.
@Ganga Din There are certain conditions required to become a state. The first is getting recognised as a state by at least ONE state. ISIS is recognised specifically as a terrorist group with potential links to states through some sort of state-sponsored funding. Verifying that connection is an issue in and of itself. But it doesn't legitimise its status as anything other than a guerrilla group that utilizes terrorism. Realistically to be considered a state you'd have to function as a state, economically and politically, with other states for your status to be recognised. That includes being a member of the UN - who can confirm your status as a state or a state-like entity. No matter what ISIS does its existence will not be recognised and in order to prevent it from completely occupying the nations of Iraq and Syria to become its own 'central power' the powers that be must intervene to prevent its spread. This means that it's vital for the Syrian goverment and Iraqi goverment to eradicate Daesh cells. It means the US, Russia, the UK, France must also intervene to eradicate IS strongholds, understand and dismantle its cell network, and prevent its acquisition of its military arsenal.
In all honesty there's nothing Daesh could do to become recognised as a state. In a scenario where there was no international intervention and the Syrian and Iraqi governments were overwhelmed by ISIS forces its unlikely that the international community would accept that status. It would probably result in military action being taken against an IS 'goverment' and its almost certain that such an occupation would not last. This is a scenario where no action is taken against IS until its too late. It also assumes that the Syrian and Iraqi goverments are incapable of fighting off IS forces and that the international community somehow refuses to assist them.
So no, ISIS is NOT a state. Its a terrorist group. Its statehood is about as legitimate as my Cats Millies self-proclamed status as Queen of all Cat-Kind and a ruler of all back-gardens of England.
Democratic Brotherhood of St Nicholas i don’t think you understand the point smh
@Ganga Din Bullshit. Ok then let's see how flawed you're thinking is.
I'm a state. I've just declared it. Right now in my living room. My youtube channel name is now name of the state of the house I live in.
Do you recognise my state status? Even though this land is sovereign to the UK? I mean that's how YOU think it works right? You know if the goverment took this seriously then maybe they have me arrested and my statehood doesn't exist. Or maybe nobody recognised my statehood to begin with. Perhaps I didn't even do anything as a state, like have a goverment, establish a constitution and courts, conduct trade with other nations and so on. Maybe I did those things but then the police arrested me before I could really establish myself.
In any case did I ever really become a state or did I just declare it and hope that no one would fight me over it.
The definition of state:
"a nation or territory considered as an organized political community under one government"
Heike Kreiger notes
"Armed groups challenge the state and its institutions through an illegal use of force. Such groups contribute to dissolving the public order and to diminishing the state’s capabilities. Therefore, governments consider armed groups as illegal as well as illegitimate. The characteristics of armed groups exclude them from any formal source of legitimation available for state actors, in fact, from any form of legitimacy based on legality. International law does not grant armed groups formal legal status unless states have legally recognized them as belligerents or national liberation movements."
The stupid thing is that, despite every government in the world and every honest citizen refusing to acknowledge its 'statehood'
For some reason you're the one person who 'recognized' its state status. That's fucked up bro.
Actions have consequences. He chose to go to Raqqa. That was a treasonous act that he has to live with. Sad to lose so much for stupidity!
The simpleton parents are just as thick as he is.
If I had done this, my parents would have tanned my hide and then reported me to the Police.
His only regret is that isis didn’t succeed. They can keep him in Syria for all I care.
Exactly what should happen!
syria doesn't want him, maybe somewhere in northern africa, probaby so.
What if it was your child
@@jewatokes5211 no child of mine is joining ISIS while I'm alive.
How would I feel if my child chopped people’s heads off? Shut TF up! What did his parents expect? Jack is a lost person in his spirit and soul. Now he lost his citizenship, rightfully so.
the Islamic State was supposed to be a state right?
So he renounced his citizenship when he joined the new state
Good point. They destroyed their passports to these Western nations and became citizens of the caliphate. They have no claim on being citizens of Britain or Canada or any nation they refuted.
@@kathleenmitchell1582 that ses it all 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
Like many other viewers, I have a son. I gave hm priviledge, education, security, and a good home. I always offered my opinion to him, but never dictated it. When he chose dishonesty, I said, OK - your choice, but you must take the consequences - not me. The consequences for him were severe ... but it was his choice. I can only grieve.
"if he has done something wrong i'll be the first to admit it publicly" - bruh, you're own son has already admitted it publicly...
Let him stay where he's at its what he wanted.
Instead of this couple apologizing for reproducing a traitor to their country, they're complaining about their country not taking him back? If there's one thing I teach my children, it's this: You lie in the bed you make.
As a liberal, wealthy democracy that touts the values of due process to the developing world, some might say it’s a bit rich them passing the buck on to an Allie to deal with, for no other reason than to appease the tabloid press. I got no sympathy for him and don’t think we should be beefing over backwards to get him back. But the Kurds obviously don’t want him and will likely release him to a refugee camp soon as they have other foreign nationals. End of the day the guys a British citizen and should face justice over here. Telling Canada to deal with our shitty citizens because of a technicality is not real leadership on how to deal with the problem.
People make mistakes... like spilling the tea or, joining ISIS.
It’s not their fault 😂
Does anyone notice his dad’s are all over the place!!! He can’t even focus on looking at the camera and getting his point across clearly!! Even the MOTHER finds it hard to keep good idea contact! Their eyes are all over the place?!
Is that just me being overly fussy?! Seriously though!? Anyone think the same???
@Jesus Christ Superstar I heard on the grapevine not that it's the best place to get accurate info, that if she had got back into the UK there was a death penalty awaiting her in any case. Mot an official one of course, but then I would happily support the death penalty for any and all ISIS legal or not but that's just me.
Why even give him any screen time? Good riddance.
The biggest downside to this is that you’ve now sent him even closer to my house. LOL.
I am all for leaving him stateless - he can go to Bangladesh and hook up with Begum.
The parents are a disgrace. Maybe they should move out to be with their son, then we'd all be much happier.
These parents are a joke
Exactly. How shocking. Their disgusting son goes to fight for a bunch of murdering thugs, and they are shocked that he lost his citizenship. Perhaps they should just push off and leave decent people alone.
The parents are in pain and agony
@@tapasyatyaga4041 why has the dirty little jihad hurt his parents?
@@lazycarper7925 The point I was making is the parents cannot be blamed for all horrible actions their children take. I note many ignorant people who know nothing of the family lay the blame at the feet of the parents. the father did say that if his son were guilty of the crimes he is accused of he should be punished. At the same time the parents are trying to help their child which is a natural thing. So what is the point you are trying to make?
LOL best action from the UK!
Has the crime of treason been abolished then 😳
I just can’t believe the father. I just cannot believe he’s attitude, it’s absolutely appalling, clearly the apple didn’t fall very far from the tree.
I think it's funny a fair amount of Canadians have gone to Syria to fight with isis or against. Could the radicalisation of Jack be from Canada 🤔 is the father Canadian? Perhaps that's why Jack is how he is..
Just listening to the father you can see where the son gets it from. He is taking no responsibility whatsoever, just blaming everyone else!
His family is as bad as him they think he's done no wrong ffs he help murders jail him for life ffs.
It's good that the UK is not playing around now with these ex ISIS terrorists. Also everyone can see now that it's the same treatment for a middle class white kid from Oxford as for a Bangladeshi background girl from East London, so nobody can say that it's racist or whatever.
Whatever trevor
yeah i second that
No it’s just shows how selfish United Kingdom is offloading your problems onto other countries when both were born and raised in Britain. Same as the past to the present UK always going to be selfish.
I am from Bangladesh. Most people in Bangladesh have little sympathy for fundamentalists, although fundamentalism is growing there. Bangladesh will most likely let her back, on humanitarian grounds, but in general bangladesh government has a zero tolerance policy against islamic terrorists. They shoot first and ask questions later, so much so that Amnesty International complained... so I don't think she will be doing much 'ISIS' stuff once there.
MrNorthernSol Same as Canada we took Syrian refugee too.
Not only that if we took him we can’t charge him with a crime because our laws said if you leave Canada to join a terrorist organization you can be charged with a crime. The problem is he left Britain not Canada. Then his dad will take him to Britain. You want that?
2:30 " I'd walk a million miles for one of your smiles my Maaaaa,ahami"
"According to international law"
Also means
"According to laws that dont"
Joining ISIS is not like joining the staff at your local McDonalds you can't just say I quit.
Apparently you can, what you cannot do after that is find a job with another employer.
@@heucatia nah man I'm sure u can't ! Wtf 🤣
*Dear Mr and Mrs Letts,*
*If you disagree with how your son is being handled by various governments, please feel free to reunite with him in Syria or elsewhere.*
*Sincerely,*
*A Canadian Citizen*
Perfect answer
The only issue is he won't even be allowed in syria.
As a canadian..I say bring him home! Everyone makes mistakes..including domestic killers. Everyone deserves a second chance.
Dear Mz Lee,
ISIS has murdered and raped my people and destroyed my lands. And right now I am being threatened by another ethnic cleansing campaign against my people by the Turkish state, which is partially armed by the British and other western states. Canada nor UK has not bothered to take back the ISIS fighters that came to our lands to murder and rape us, not you, nor to helped us with resources and help with establishing an international court to try these people. I don't have resources, my home is destroyed and right now the Turkish state, YOUR ally, is planning a massive war and ethnic cleansing campaign against my people (just like they did in Afrin last year).
My question is, why is it that these people should reunite on my land? Don't the Canadian and British state have a responsibility to help us out, or are we just a garbage can that you send your scum to rape and murder us?
Sincerely,
The Kurdish People
@@element4element4 Not sure you want the legitimate answer to that question...
I didn't go to a war zone to fight, I came for the after party - jehadi jack
As a CANADIAN CITIZEN , I Pray with every ounce in my entire soul that this PoS never sees the light of day on Canadian or British Soil. After listening to the parents, it's no surprise whatsoever he turned out this way. I hope they never come to Canada again either.
The father talks about being disappointed that the British Government not taking responsibility for their son. Why don't you take responsibility for your own son mate. You are the parent after all. I guess when you live in a nanny state you forget who actually are the ones raising children.
It seems they are trying quite hard to take responsibility for his well being, but in this case it seemd the state must talk to the kurds if he is to serve his sentence elsewhere
His mother is upset her son has no access to a lawyer. His victims have no access to life !
its ok in syria then death was what everybody was used too they will die but we cant get back lives so its not worth fighting against dont be angry life involves uninportant things but life aparantly is important no.
I’m surprised C4 haven’t offered to sponsor his repatriation. Maybe the Guardian beat them to it? They are the champion virtue signallers.
How did he become radicalised? That's an interesting story.
Jack shouldn't be treated like a criminal. He's betrayed his country and fought for terrorists! He should be treated like an enemy combatant
He’s a traitor to the United Kingdom. He should be executed for treason. After the execution go old school, mutilate the body and send four parts to the four corners of the kingdom.
He first must be checked of being mentally stable. People don't join ISIS just like that, something must be up.
Some big egg Literally thousands of people up and joined ISIS, “just like that.”
I think they should just kill al isis members
I am a muslim and they dont even read a Quran
@@stunner9005 don't you been dismember his body? Mutilation doesn't involve chopping a body up. It just means to cause injury.
His parents crack me up, completely delusional.
They remind me of Ned Flanders' beatnik parents: "We've tried nothing, and we're all out of ideas."
Hippies, probably higher on home grown cannabis.
Lair: you're the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, you can never change 🤣
No problem, he can go and live in Canada with his dad and the Canadian ‘enlightenment’ he’s preaching! Not our problem any more. My choice would be he’s left where he is and where he went by his own choice. Our government absolutely did the right thing here.
Don’t understand how the parents have the audacity to act like a victim right here.
