so that we can read the reference in context?

Cho, Loughner, Holmes, and most others guilty of mass shootings were loners and committed their dastardly deeds alone.

Don't expect a lot from that one. Single track (minds) cause a lot of bramage.

I'm 5'7", 235, fake hip and train tracks (scars) from sternum to pisser (penis) is all the reason I need. The Pomeranian doesn't help much but keeps my feet warm and makes me laugh.
