Almost two weeks ago, the US Department of Justice announced that it had foiled a plot by Proper and a number of co-conspirators to assassinate Donald Trump and other elected officials at the Ultimate Fighting Championship event recently held at the White House. As of Friday, eight people from around the country are in custody. All appear to be men in their 20s or early 30s.

        Understandable. But come on there must be one cool dude who just got the call and knows he’s terminal, nothing left to lose

        One girl that saw her world fall apart after selling her soul for the umpteenth time

        One radical teenager that figured out shooting kids ain’t going out with a bang at all

        One mad boomer that ground up his own teeth over the years being bothered enough

        One minority member that picks the path of the hero instead of the gangbanger

        One father that saw his son radicalise voicing opinions that would make any man’s neck hair stand

        One downtrodden beat down slob that feels so low there’s no downside to trying anyway
