Let her rot in the camp. I have to agree... Joining those ruthless killers is a crime and she needs to pay for her crime... That's not just a bad decision like drinking too much or shooting off your gun to celebrate the 4th of July... That's a criminal act...

I know it is frustrating to see the articles that don't fit the conservative view but we all have the option to hit the "ignore" button.
