    Wait what? It came in where and went out where? She wasn’t doing anything other than holding a lump of lead in her hand? That’s not a bullet wound. Bullets don’t leave black eyes. Fists do..

    In America/UK Kids can’t play certain PlayStation or XBox games .Also parents don’t let kids drink Coffee Snowflakes won’t allow you guns imagine seeing local kids brandishing AK47 & scary looking knife can see tucked into away on his vest.For sure local KARENS ain’t gonna try bully these kids .Sad sight but also scary .Why would keep having kids in these hell holes Mother acted tho this was normal & hint pride her sons walking street armed Gun & Knife Poor boys having nightmares NOT A KIDS JOB TO PROTECT HIS FAMILY HIS JOB IS TO BE A KID .

    This is so sad to see this kid should be in school not carrying gun and fight why the war start in Syria? Why did world meddle Syria and Iraq business? Their government were absolutely awful But did international community help them with meddling in their business? I don’t think so because after destabilizing this to country the whole Middle East is messed up
