Murderers that have no clue or conscience about what they do.

I can only hope that whomever the woman is with them, that they cut them off for life. No excuses.

He probably wasn't murdered for protecting butterflies, he was murdered because he kept others from logging or using the acreage for something that could bring them pesos.

I refer to Mickey Mouse as "that damned rat" since I was Project Gutenberg quondam volunteer not because I dislike the Mouse's murine merits or his mouseketeer minions but because the rat has been the reason for repeated revisions to US copyright rules again and again.

(And, yes, "murine," the same name as a brand of eyedrops, is the adjectival form of "mouse".)
