Absolute PROOF of the necessity of referees keeping a handgun on them at all times, especially with the concentration of barbarism-prone Cannibals....Also need to paint these Cannibals'heads with yellow paint, as you would paint the heads of the pica-ninny daughters of Fake-Prez Balak Osambo, then stand back and explode their heads in beautiful mists of blood & paint.
