Another one said the location of the terrorists were known." i don't even know what kind of Manhunt they are talking about... The terrorists have infested most of our communities and are moving freely, giving directives to the people. The federal government wants to end this insecurity it should confront them. It is wrong to always be reactionary instead of being proactive, " he said.
