You'd be wrong about that. Just hope you never have a total loss and have to deal with insurance companies.

You've never been around a tornado, have you.

Debris, photographs, etc, were dumped as far away as Tulsa and beyond.

And letting them live would help how?

We don't execute people on the spot here in this country. You'd need to go to Iran or Saudi Arabia for that kind of justice. Even there, they give them a trial before they execute them.

Yeah, I get it. We're all so pious, and everyone else is scum that deserves to die.

Sure. Ok.

Pretty much. Certainly nothing to wish death on someone over.
