So I uh... I can't help it. I'm sorry. "I want to be a part of you so bad, you make me wait so long, you're Jamaican me crazy!"
- On the one hand, this isn't a situation to be making light of.
  On the other hand......slow clap
  
  I downvoted you in shame of myself.
daylight come an' he wan' go home.
This is why laws requiring excessive documentation should be considered Kafkaesque; and summarily rejected and ripped out of legislation. Someone like this should've been able to simply prove residence by simply gathering enough citizen signatures on an affadavit or something like that. Surely somebody can attest they remember him; and surely there's some record of his house fire which by itself could prove he lived there in the late 90s.
