a girl.
I am a Middle Eastern girl.
A Syrian girl.
A Muslim girl.

They help them know what to expect.

thinking.”

“Some guys get fifteen years, others get life.
So death for Ed
but not for everyone.

Cos it all depends on who you kill and where you kill them too.

Like,
don't shoot a white cop in Walker Country, Texas. If that's your plan, do it in Arlington, New York- no needles of electric chairs there.

Just doesn't seen fair to me.”
