@HeyTerezi @Grizzexploder @Handlegraves He’s not a pedophile. Absurd. She was 16 the legal age in the UK, he was 25 so a young man himself and they had a kiss. Saying that makes him a child molester is insane.






NEW: The sister of 20-year-old Sgt. Declan Coady, who was killed in the Kuwait attack, breaks down in tears, says she wishes she could tell him one last time that she loved him. Coady loved being a soldier, his father said. "He trained hard, he worked hard, his physical fitness was important to him. He loved being a soldier." "He was also one of the most kindest people you would ever meet, and he would do anything and everything for anyone." Heartbreaking. RIP.
