They only know about the WHITE PEOPLE. They came first for the POC. Before Good and Pretti, they were already executing POC. These are the few we know of.

When Blessed was rehearsing Peter Pan in Manchester, my mate had to deliver a big rubber crocodile to the company. He was told to deliver the prop to the room. When he walked in, Blessed roared, ‘here comes the fucking crocodile!’ grabbed it, and wrestled it to the floor. What a legend.

That 1827 lunar eclipse over England was some kind of crazy.
A contemporary illustration of the "Eclipse of the Moon November 3rd 1827" shows, on the left, Britannia weeping, an ox wrapped around with a gigantic snake, figures (including a redcoat) in mourning beside a tombstone, skeletons dancing, horses yoked to a chariot rearing, lightning strikes ,a bay behnd in which giant exposions threaten British shipping, and a gold cross louring in the darkened sky overhead.
