Well, firstly, they are not just people, but knights. Secondly, apart from moral degenerates and terrorists, I don't remember any cases of children being taken hostage. And, by the way, no one is defending the terrorists who took over the school in Beslan; maybe you should take that up?

They captured not a human child, but the offspring of a monster.

And so? Are you saying that I can go to France and shoot dogs there, saying that I am an officer of the Russian army, and Russia won't react at all?

The dogs belong to France, but dragons are not pets of dark elves.
