“It doesn’t apply to murders over the age of 13. Sex criminals should be killed.”

“carry a small knife or scissors with you and stab a sex criminal’s eyes. Practice on a doll,” and “if it seems like you’re going to die then start screaming that you have a lot of boyfriends and take off your clothes.”
