@Desertman - when was the photo taken?
Harsha Singh
How can people so brutally destroy innocent life for fun?! It's a shame.
NicoleB
@bayucca I know how you feel. Let's just hope Karma will catch up with them

It's not really the place to talk about the things we should do to such sick people...
NicoleB
But owning a gun in Kuwait is technically forbidden by law, no?
Desertman
Annorion, unfortunately no action legal taken against these crazy people
Desertman
No Nicole , it's not the same area. This is the location where they got shot http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&q=29.046991,47.717315%20%28%D9%85%D8%AD%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%A9%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B5%D9%84%D9%8A%D8%A8%D9%8A%D8%A9,%20Kuwait%29

Not really.... as far as I know. And migration starts in a month. Things will only get worse then :/
annorion
Is horrible to see more dead. :( Are these trigger happy nuts ever prosecuted for their actions?
NicoleB
I wonder if this was the same a**h**e and the same that kicked out of Jahra pool reserve :/ Was this at the reserve?

Tragic. Is this another incident?
