I'm here today to make sure what happened to me never happens to anyone else ever again. 14:28:40 WX - NASH/ RIPPED OFF MY FACE TRT: 27 OC: I'M BLIND TODAY 14:28:52 ...he ripped off my face, my hands. They were able to salvage a thumb and sew it on sideways. Most of you don't know this but I contracted a disease from Travis in my eyes and the doctors had to remove them and that's why I'm blind today. 14:29:19 WX - NASH/ ESSENTIALLY 4 HANDS BEATING ON YOU TRT: 49 OC: AND SUPPORT IT 14:29:22 Travis was purchased in Missouri and brought back to CT. Had this law been in effect, this would have never been as it is. I want you all to realize too - these chimpanzees.. .thier strength, not only their strength but they have two hands and their two feet are hands also so imagine four hands holding and beating on you. It's not a good sight so I'm here today, I support this bill and I hope people go by it and support it. 14:30:11 (0:00) /
