And he can continue to express himself, or can't he?","comments":[{"id":44289581,"user":"sorcerer-mar","time":1750082524,"time_ago":"a day ago","type":"comment","content":"

Sure, just like an American snatched off the street and sent to prison can still express himself in prison.","comments":[{"id":44291145,"user":"kreetx","time":1750092041,"time_ago":"a day ago","type":"comment","content":"
