You took the gamble and lost. End.
Yes mod me down for not emoting and empathising like a little girl as we're all supposed to do these days , but thats my opinion.

If only that was true. All too often these people including even the do gooder non profit types end up giving our enemies a strong propaganda or financial win. They are often doing a lot more harm than good to the public they come from.
