This is wrong on so many levels

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhopal_Disaster

1984: A pesticide plant in India owned by Union Carbide (now owned by Dow) had a gas leak, killing more than 8,000. The person responsible has fleed and nobody's cleaning it up.

By the rote mastery of this art, your firing efficiency will rise by no less than 120%. The difference of a 63% increase to lethal proficiency makes the master of the gun katas an adversary not to be taken lightly.

Scary as fuck.

You're all asleep, then you wake up choking and blinded by pesticides and you're deformed for life.

They pretty much gave up their lives so that others could be saved. They knew they were going to die when they went in to clean it up. You shouldn't laugh at sacrifice like that.

I'm not laughing at the guys trying to clean it up... I respect that... I'm laughing at the news fools running around the top of the building taking videos... They gave their lives for a good story.

Or did you not read what I said? I said nothing about the people cleaning the mess up...
