"My dear friends, we're all saddened by so much turmoil that has been brought upon this life we live," Voight said. "Can this darkness be lifted? Can we all share joy once again and see eye to eye?
"We have a troubled nation with much horror from these criminals that are ruining lives," he continued, though he did not detail which offenders he was referring to. "We must stop this now. We must bring back our nation's safety."
