To kill blm terrorists? Who cares at all? You all rub your mouth and claim trump supporters are the violent ones.. what about grandmaster jay and nfac? Sorry if I dont buy that the trump supporters are the problem when black males commit the vast majority of gun crime in this country. Sorry I dont believe you when black males comprise tha majority of the prison population. Black males are scum.
Neckbeards unite!
Trump will pardon them. No biggie.
I don’t care which side they were on, these two are better in lockup, and not on the streets.
Amen to that
If he ever happens to need public executioners, I am sure you will volunteer to be one.
the liberal law in Kenosha will let them out
A couple of typical Trump supporters.
That is an idiotic statement, but typical coming from a TDS sufferer. The violence in today’s America is NOT from Trump supporters.
That is funny. I just watched a news report about the violence in Portland on Fox. The Trump supporters attacked and beat a BLM protestor. In your version, I am sure they weren’t trump supporters, they just wore MAGA hats and trump t-shirts to disguise themselves. Probably paid by Soros. Right?
Wake up. There’s only so much ‘protesting’ that law-abiding citizens will tolerate. You had better come to grips with that reality or see rule #1..Stupid games yield stupid prizes.
Wake up. Law abiding citizens don’t physically attack other law abiding citizens.
You’re still asleep and have not been watching the riots on the news nightly.
Here’s some sound advice: Don’t support or defend any BLM activity or movement. They are a multi-billion dollar race-hustling scam that will steadily come to be reviled and exposed as a total fraud. Do they spend any of their billions of extorted dollars for actual benefit for black people (or any other people)???
No they do not.
How would you know?
Even in today’s world, full of idiots who listen to liars like Sharpton and Pelosi, the truth will eventually come out. By then, you will have moved on to another pile tho…and Donald J. Trump will be well into his second term.
prison term
Simply put, you don’t know.
