    lol, family members of the soon-to-be-residents.
  • Chanting does nothing. Pumping a fist in the air does nothing, nor does shouting people down.
  • So glad I moved out of Seattle. I'm trying really hard to stay in my home state but things like this assure me that those in charge of the Asylum should be the patients.
