#2 Same number or more people, less time. And they think it's going to reduce the rush-and-crush?

Only upside is all the dead are devoted Muslims...

#6 I lit it out from Riyad
I was trailed by twenty Town
Didn't get to sleep last night
'Til the morning came around

Set out runnin' but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
I just might throw rocks back tonight

Well, I ran into the devil
And he loaned me twenty bills
I spent the night in Hebron
In a in split-level in the hills

I set out runnin' but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight
Just might throw some rocks tonight

When the Turbans play this the crowd rocks, I mean ROCKS!
