God Very Efficient.

Anyway how about the weapons used for the numerous other shootings by the UPFA supporters on the opposition????? One thing that is clear is that the law is handed out perfectly towards the UPFA supporters while the others now do not know what the law is.......They have no place to get a solution by the law....effectively we are living in a country where many races live and only one party has the blessings of the law....
