On that theory I should kill Brutus Kimmy Nation's Pit down the street
and I would be doing a public service in that case, but I'd expect to
be arrested. Nation's a skinhead hate group member.

Well I cost Nation 256 $'s in fines for no license and 
violating his ten day home confinment order.

Unfortunately he and his dog still represent a very serious threat
