I suppose that they're going to burn any other documents etc. that they don't agree w/ either. One thing for sure, me and my friends aren't going to vote for scumbags like this, and why would we? That the fact that they chose to burn things instead of taking the adult way out etc. tells us a lot about their deeply flawed characters.
