Those who walk with a limp, those who walk with a stoop, those with facial twitches and those who talk to the birds. I find it hard to pull the trigger. They deserve to live, surely. And the junkies, the sinners and the freaks, the drunk-heads, the prostitutes and all the poor bastards. All will get a passing nod from my gun, I'll say hello and let them go.
