This week, Drewby and Yergy head back across the pond to the coastal village of Banks to discuss the case of Axel Rudakubana, a teenage boy who went on a stabbing spree at a local Taylor Swift dance class. In the wake of the attack, three little girls were killed: Bebe King, Elsie Dot Stancombe, and Alice da Silva Aguiar. In addition, riots popped up all around the UK due to the belief that Axel was a Islamic terrorist... but he wasn't.
