AND
"yeah, give him his land back Hank"

Hahaha I’m loving this new Instagram feature where it warns you there’s only a few minutes left to view someone’s story with a bright red doomsday clock. Brand new ways to make us all more insane every day, just inserted into our lives without announcement.

Okay I don't really want to be giving this prick more attention but this is very funny. I want a nationwide manhunt. Cash rewards for information on his whereabouts. Burke posting videos from inside caves like he's Osama bin Laden
Gardaí have been unable to locate Enoch Burke after twice calling to his house yesterday to imprison him for contempt of court.
A High Court judge ordered the former teacher's return to prison on Tuesday.
