Level 9 · 6 mo agoi mean, sleeping with the victim's mom just to keep her quiet is some twisted shit. Bunting actually bragged about it like it was a strategy. makes you wonder how nobody noticed he was a monster sooner.

Level 2 · 6 mo agoBunting claiming to 'cleanse society' of leeches while funding his lifestyle with their welfare checks is rich. That rock spider wall wasn't a moral crusade. It was a shopping list. If you're going to play vigilante, try not to rely on your victims' Centrelink deposits to pay the rent.
