Normie voluntarily spent the day with the other sheep. But he's had enough now and is home in time for bed before the lights come on. Fin, Abla and Cricket will keep him company.

I don't understand why these coward, nazi, racist, emotionally immature and just plain stupid people are protesting about today? There's no war. Last time I checked it's the white males who go on the shooting rampages. They aren't persecuted. If anything they are given way too much leniency
