OBITCH on strike!

Happy Thursday Geoffs! This week we’re covering what happens when people take protesting too far. Madison starts us off with self-immolation and then Spencer takes over with what happens to your body during a hunger strike. We’ve got an obituary for a rad dad, one who requested a non-traditional service, and of course we’ve got some dumb.ass.criminallllllls!
