Everything on the list for the sound cannon: Terror in full glory

It is less important what will be written in the official notes from the hearing of Aleksandar Radić. Much more important is what will be going through the heads of thousands of people who spoke, wrote, testified or asked for help about the "sound cannon" tonight. If the answer is: "God, if only they don't come for me too", then the goal has been achieved
