“People don't debate what defines murder. Politicians don't argue the body's ability to fight off being killed. There's no talk of "murder culture." No one says that you asked for murder. What you wear doesn't excuse being killed.”

We are the white stallion and we have to wait for no one but ourselves.”

Your identity is attached permanently to a word you hate.”
