He shrugs off robberies of the mall stores but thinks the escapades of a flasher (Randy Gambill) are the start of World War III. He hears voices...

But if they fail, then Prabhakaran will live to regroup and fight another day." - A Sri Lankan defense official, during the late 80's Indian assault against the Tamil Tigers. That was 22 years ago.
