them out right then the mediately they're prepared for this to get really bad at any moment this is insanity that old Barb Wire bro darkest places on Earth old school industrial prison too man look at the crows they're sitting up there to there still some on the perch probably looking for food they probably know it's a food source on that yard food source over here they're collecting crows I've
