Bullshit.

For one thing, they're arrested all the time and a Google would have shown you that.

For another, this poster was from 2008 and discontinued quickly.

And then someone operating a 1 day old account dug it up and posted it here to trigger outrage. One has to wonder about the motivations of the individual who resurrected this flamebait...

I mean, it is funny as shit that someone seriously thought this was okay to print on a poster much less present to the public.

Fifteen years ago. Christ, can't we at least limit ourselves to flamebait from the past decade?

to be fair, that's enough time to introduce a whole new generation to the ragebait.
