In january, charged. Reporter now hes facing criminal charges including possession of a mass destruction. His family isnt answering the doors or the chemical weapons that have emerged almost 3,000 miles away. I hope for the best of him but i hope i never see him again because hes a dangerous kid.

I remember getting a package here. Then returning it to him. Reporter classmates are following the news closely. He was kind of when he stayed quiet. Never really raised his hand.
