If they are dangerous, why weren’t they being transported in handcuffs and leg irons?

These three are just violent, murderous thugs who escaped custody. No biggie.
Yep, and let them sheeple have, beside their daily dose of entertainment drench, let them have some nits so they are busy itching while they are rounded up for the shear or cull.
