I'm so glad I moved out of that hellhole.
I can't wait for the state to take over its government; it's just a matter of time.

Wallacea, it's because both suspects are from PG. If you visit this site everyday like I do, I'd say 80% or more of the crime-related stories either take place in PG or involve someone from PG. That can't be ignored.
