This kid may still be a patsy, but based on that kind of admission, he should have reported it and did.

Hopefully, he is a GQP that wants the killing Americans to stop. He would be on the front line when the cross fire starts, and maybe his religion would not let that happen.
There are real Christian’s out there……..somewhere.

His wife is wealthy too.

Being a nasty nazi bastard pays quite well it appears.

They don't need a measly $100K.

who reported him. There are more technicalities than may be apparent, and they use every one of them to avoid paying out rewards.
