Does trying to m*rder me...

my wife and my daughter
constitute a hate crime?


Cos if it does,
I think I need to talk to somebody


get it off my chest.

Maybe if there was
like a helpline or something.


Cos I think I do need
a bit of emotional support.


Maybe a little bit of practical assistance.
