It's ridiculous, isn't it. Meanwhile their senators are stealing billions in dollars, and not a zilch they do about that, but quick to kill for android phone.
See how THEY make sense.

They should have been put on "Wanted List". 1st degree murder charges. They can go eat in jail, till they're 90 yrs old.
