NRA Promised $6.5 Million to Buy Mansion for CEO Wayne LaPierre, Document Shows
So the non-profit NRA is using member's money to buy LaPierre a mansion for "safety" reasons. When are people going to realize this guy is a fraud and a monster and call out his bullshit?Quote:
A top National Rifle Association executive signed a document agreeing that the gun-rights organization would be 99% owner of a company formed to buy a $6 million Dallas mansion for NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre, according to a copy of the document reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
The document also shows the NRA agreed to contribute $6.5 million to the company formed to buy the property, raising yet more questions about the NRA’s previous statements that none of the gun-rights group’s money was to be used to purchase the house...

Proud Boy Invasion Cost Portland Businesses $3 Million
Quote:
The weekend cost Portland businesses at least $3 million in foregone revenue and added expenses, according to Andrew Hoan, president of the Portland Business Alliance.
What a bunch of out of town assholes.Quote:
In a statement issued shortly after the Aug. 17 rally, Proud Boy leaders Joe Biggs and Enrique Tarrio, both from Florida, said the financial blow was their goal—and why they would return on a monthly basis.
"The gathering was never about bringing carnage or violence to the City of Portland, it was about financially crippling the progressive hotbed until they take action against Antifa and showcasing the power of peaceful political action," Biggs and Tarrio said in a statement.
Shut up twatface go suck on more Antifa penis.

"Proud boy invasion"? And not the Antifa goons who are the real reason for so much destruction and violence?
You really are the most useless, and yet most useful, idiot I have ever witnessed in my entire life.
You're the type of person where if you got the shit kicked out of you by a black person you would apologize to them for being white.
The board in San Fransisco just approved new language looking to use more family friendly terms in regards to violent criminals.
A felon will now be referred to as a "justice-involved person."
No, this isn't from an Onion article, this is real life.
Imagine a violent rapist being released from prison and city officials are forced to refer to him as a "justice-involved person" and encouraging everyday citizens to do the same.
What the fuck is wrong with people like you, Back?
That's hilarious. California is the land of the nuts and fruits.
Uh, yeah. Proud Boy leadership said as much. They flew into Portland from Florida to cause trouble for the locals. Thats what these assholes do. They invade liberal enclaves and stir up trouble then turn around and cry "domestic terrorism" like babies when they get called out on their shit.
OMG, the conservatives have stolen the only page out of the activist liberals playbook. Everyone is racist!
P.S. Just ordered my INGSOC t-shirt this morning. I'm pretty stoked about it.
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....lL._UX342_.jpg
There are videos of Antifa beating people, stealing from people, breaking people's cameras, they smashed the windows of at least 2 buses, they attacked people with hammers, police confiscated bear mace and other assorted weapons from Antifa members, they chased down and beat people, they called black police officers coons and Uncle Toms, they taunted police by telling them to kill themselves.
But yeah, Proud Boys said words so Antifa had no choice.
You are so useless it makes me wonder how you even remember to feed yourself.
Literally, the same situation.
These assholes flew into places like NYC to cause trouble for the locals.
Literally the same situation, literally.
I can see how someone like you with a severe self awareness disability doesn't understand what a flaming hypocritical retard you are.Quote:
I can see how you and others would not understand the difference though.
Yes. Do you?Quote:
Is there such a thing as peaceful protest in your view?
SPOILER: Antifa isn't a peaceful protest. It's the exact opposite of a peaceful protest.
He doesn't. We feed him.

My post is in response to another post. We quote posts to show what we are responding to. See, thats how this board thing works. Its pretty cool because you can follow along pretty easily.
But you failed at that simple premise.
We were talking about comparing OWS and Proud Boys.
But, out of my desire to be helpful and spell things out for you, yet again, I will explain that I do not support or condone anyone who calls themselves "antifa" and commits acts of violence.
Tell me more about how the PC is so notorious for staying on topic.
What about people who call themselves "Proud Boys" but don't commit any acts of violence? Are they ok?Quote:
But, out of my desire to be helpful and spell things out for you, yet again, I will explain that I do not support or condone anyone who calls themselves "antifa" and commits acts of violence.
So, it's the goal that makes you excuse off their methods? Literally everything you said about the Proud Boys when you were condemning them is exactly the same thing that Occupy Wall Street was doing when you praised them.
So, in your opinion the ends justify the means...
The textbook definition of a hypocrite.
Do you see that now or are you still that self unaware?
The left: You fuckers living in a studio apartment and being so poor you have to walk to work, fuck you and your straws! You're destroying the planet!
Also the left: Obama bought a 15 million dollar oceanfront mansion because he deserves it! Leave him alone!
Ever notice the left is oh so concerned about saving the planet yet their ire is usually directed at poor people eating hamburgers?
Montana Democrat Offers Campaign Tracker a ‘Free Vibrator’ – Blows Her a Kiss
https://pluralist.com/wp-content/upl...0.51.11-AM.png
A locally elected Montana Democrat sexually harassed a conservative female campaign tracker, offering her a free vibrator from his sex shop and blowing her a kiss.
Trackers are tasked with monitoring the operations of a campaign and documenting politicians’ moves.
A tracker hired by America Rising followed Kimberly Dudik, a candidate for Montana Attorney General, at a parade in Manhattan, Montana.
At one point, local Democratic committee member Billy McWilliams engaged the tracker in conversation.
“Oh, I remember you, you’re the tracker,” McWilliams said as he approached the woman. He then began to mock her for tracking Dudik’s campaign: “Do you really think it’s going to work? What is she [Dudik] going to say? Are you really tracking an AG race in a Democratic primary? Isn’t that crazy?”
https://youtu.be/t6lp4wZqfus
An indecent proposal
McWilliams, who owns a sex toy shop in Bozeman, eventually ramped up his attempts to rattle the tracker.
“You’re mysterious,” he said. “I own Erotique the sex store, and if you stop by I’ll give you a free vibrator.”
After the parade, the tracker encountered McWilliams again in a grassy area.
“We’ll see you on the trail Elisabeth, okay?” he said, before blowing her a kiss.
“Trackers are trained to act professionally on the campaign trail and Democratic politicians and activists should do the same,” said Sarah Dolan, executive director of America Rising, per the Washington Free Beacon. “These individuals are just doing their job and never deserve to be the subject of harassment.”
McWilliams told the Beacon that he regretted his actions.
“I thought I was teasing,” McWilliams said in an email to the Beacon. “I apologize to the camerawoman, it was inappropriate. I’ll consider my comments in the future, and won’t say things that may be misconstrued.”
Dudik told the Beacon that McWilliams is not involved with her run for state attorney general “in any capacity.”

Facebook Pulls Trump Campaign Ads Over Alleged Policy Violations
The ad that “violated” policy:
https://static.pjmedia.com/trending/...mentrumpad.jpg
https://www.axios.com/trump-nuclear-...cf0e3f51c.html
Quote:
President Trump has suggested multiple timesto senior Homeland Security and national security officials that they explore using nuclear bombs to stop hurricanes from hitting the United States, according to sources who have heard the president's private remarks and been briefed on a National Security Council memorandum that recorded those comments.
Behind the scenes: During one hurricane briefing at the White House, Trump said, "I got it. I got it. Why don't we nuke them?" according to one source who was there. "They start forming off the coast of Africa, as they're moving across the Atlantic, we drop a bomb inside the eye of the hurricane and it disrupts it. Why can't we do that?" the source added, paraphrasing the president's remarks.
- Asked how the briefer reacted, the source recalled he said something to the effect of, "Sir, we'll look into that."
- Trump replied by asking incredulously how many hurricanes the U.S. could handle and reiterating his suggestion that the government intervene before they make landfall.
- The briefer "was knocked back on his heels," the source in the room added. "You could hear a gnat fart in that meeting. People were astonished. After the meeting ended, we thought, 'What the f---? What do we do with this?'"
Is there video of this? Or is this another "An anonymous source said that Trump said this!" story?
https://i.imgur.com/6KaHmKa.png
I'd give it a 50/50 chance. One part SR left out in his quote of the article though...
Kind of funny that the government has been floating this idea around for decades when even someone like Backlash can tell it's a terrible idea, even if Obama had said it instead.Quote:
The big picture: Trump didn't invent this idea. The notion that detonating a nuclear bomb over the eye of a hurricane could be used to counteract convection currents dates to the Eisenhower era, when it was floated by a government scientist.
The idea keeps resurfacing in the public even though scientists agree it won't work. The myth has been so persistent that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. government agency that predicts changes in weather and the oceans, published an online fact sheet for the public under the heading "Tropical Cyclone Myths Page."
The page states: "Apart from the fact that this might not even alter the storm, this approach neglects the problem that the released radioactive fallout would fairly quickly move with the tradewinds to affect land areas and cause devastating environmental problems. Needless to say, this is not a good idea."
You mean 50 years ago when they didn't know shit about nuclear power?
https://www.reviewjournal.com/wp-con...ke.test_-1.jpg
I did link the whole article though. If I were some people around here, I would have just quoted it with no link and left that part out.
Let's be honest.. this is what happens when you have a dishonest media that will do ANYTHING it can to bring about a change at President in 2020.
I mean hell, they had people like you believing that Trump colluded with Russia and told you to believe that for the past 2 1/2 years.
I'm glad that 1) People are considering crazy things to help our nation/world and 2) We have scientists who temper the crazy. Innovation is what makes us great. Posing a question about something doesn't mean we'd do it, nor does it mean it's a good idea. It's just a question. Who knows what radical things we could do to affect the weather...
Not that I believe he wanted to nuke a storm. But I'd go with he might have asked about it.
Which, depending on the geology, amazingly, could have worked. Turns out the geology in the area would not be suitable.
Here is a somewhat older article about nuking hurricanes.
https://nationalinterest.org/blog/th...urricane-17988
Back in the day, before we had better measuring instruments to determine size, strength and energy in a hurricane, it looked a lot more plausible. It could work now, the issue is the bomb would have to be large enough it would be hazardous to about one third to one half of the earth's surface.
In reality, there are a lot of things we could be doing very safely with nuclear power. Too bad politicians, the media and stupid people have held things back.
Today is the five year anniversary of the greatest scandal of the Obama presidency or, as the survivors call it, the day hope died. A moment of silence, please.
Quote:
Lou Dobbs called it “shocking,” while Republican congressman Peter King said it represented POTUS’s “lack of seriousness” in the wake of recent ISIS attacks.
"There's no way I don't think any of us can excuse what the president did yesterday," King told Newsmax TV at the time.

Pennsylvania Court Rules Man's 'Gun-Like Hand Gesture' Is A Crime
https://i.imgur.com/ayq8T45.png
Remember when that kid got suspended from school for eating his Pop Tart into a sort of gun shape? The good old days.Quote:
A Pennsylvania court ruled that a man committed a crime when he directed a "gunlike hand gesture" toward one of his neighbors. 64-year-old Stephen Kirchner and an unidentified female acquaintance have a long history of issues with their neighbor. The neighbor installed six security cameras on his property due to the ongoing confrontations, while Kirchner's female friend was granted a "no contact" order against him.
In June 2018 one of those cameras captured Kirchner and his female friend walking down the street and getting into an argument with their neighbor. At one point, Kirchner stopped, looked at his neighbor, and then "made a hand gesture at him, imitating the firing and recoiling of a gun."
The gesture was witnessed by multiple people who called 911. Kirchner told police he made the gesture after his neighbor gave him the middle finger with both hands and they issued him a citation for disorderly conduct. He was found guilty but appealed the verdict, arguing that his gesture didn't "create a hazardous or physically offensive condition" and that his actions did not harm anybody.
The Superior Court of Pennsylvania disagreed with Kirchner and ruled that the gesture "recklessly risked provoking a dangerous altercation."
Kirchner was ordered to pay a $100 fine and court costs.

‘Carry at All Times’: Video of Random Woman Stabbing Boy in Front of Parents Shocks Gun Owners
Based on the video, I've also concluded that the kid's dad is a massive pussy.
That father is so useless. Reading the story I thought this all happened quickly and the father rushed in to help but this woman was a pro at swinging that knife around.
Then I watch the video and it's some old fat ass tub of shit and the father just looks at her after she had just stabbed his son in the face. Even assuming he didn't realize she had a knife at the time this lady still apparently punched her son in the face, fucking do SOMETHING other than looking at her.
Then when the father finally finds his balls and decides to go after the lady she barely has the strength to slash the knife around so he backs off.
The father should be arrested too for being so damn useless.
He should have tackled her like a fucking linebacker going after a kicker in the 70's.
This is how it should have gone down.
https://nypost.com/video/kill-me-kni...lice-shootout/
For real. I imagined a skinny woman who ran off and the father chased after her but the woman was too fast, especially after she artfully waved the knife around. Instead the woman looked like she hasn't moved much faster than a brisk walk since the 80's and the father didn't even try.
He didn't have a gun though, therefore it should have gone down like this:

Actor Fires Back At People Hoping Dorian Will Destroy Trump’s Florida Resort
Don't really give a shit about the dude from Grandma's Boy, but leftists are such nice caring people and certainly don't speak or act on raw unhinged ignorance based emotion. Not at all.Quote:
"My family lives about 10 miles from Mar-a-Lago ..."
https://www.dailywire.com/sites/defa...?itok=MLqcBS20
Hurricane Dorian is sweeping toward Florida right now and the forecasts are ominous.
"Dorian is a Category 2 hurricane and is forecast to intensify into a powerful Category 4, posing a prolonged danger that may last days to Florida and the southeastern United States over Labor Day weekend," The Weather Channel reports.
"As the exact track of Hurricane Dorian is becoming more certain, with a strike along the central Florida Atlantic coast the most probable outcome, the tropical cyclone is likely to unleash torrential rain and raise the risk of flooding after landfall next week," Accuweather notes. "Following major impact to lives and property due to high winds and coastal flooding, heavy rain and inland flooding may be Dorian's second wind over the southeastern United States."
President Donald Trump — whose Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach is currently in the crosshairs of most computer models for the path of the storm — warned on Twitter that Dorian could be an "absolute monster."
"All indications are it’s going to hit very hard and it’s going to be very big," Trump said in a video, comparing the coming storm to the historic Hurricane Andrew, which destroyed thousands of homes south of Miami in 1992 when it made landfall with winds above 165 miles per hour.
But "Trump Derangement Syndrome" has prompted some people to express their desire that the hurricane directly hit Trump's resort.
Former Canadian Prime Minister Kim Campbell — who called Trump a "motherf***er" after he was inaugurated — said precisely that.
"I’m rooting for a direct hit on Mar-a-Lago!" she wrote on Twitter (she later deleted the tweet).
Others have also gleefully piled on, hoping for the destruction of Trump's resort.
But actor Allen Covert, who has starred in and written several movies with Adam Sandler, including "Happy Gilmore" and "Anger Management," took aim at all those haters.
"My family lives about 10 miles from Mar-a-Lago so all of you people cheering the fact that Dorian might wipe it out can kindly go f[***] yourselves. You have sunk so low in your hatred that you have become worse than what you hate," the actor wrote on Twitter.
Others expressed disgust at Campbell's tweet.
"One thing is evident from the comments. Anti-Trumpers are NOT the kind, loving, wonderful people they pretend to be," wrote one person on Twitter.
"If there’s any question as to how vile, violent, and intolerant the Left is, simply read the tweets, it will tell you exactly who they are," wrote another.
But Canadians, as everyone knows, are generally the most polite people in the world — and one resident of Ontario took to Twitter to apologize on his country's behalf.
"On behalf of Canada, I'd like to apologize to all our American brothers & sisters for the remarks of our once & very brief PM, Kim Campbell. She was useless then & now she's less than that, wishing Hurricane Dorian to hit Mar-a-lago. She's just an ass, she doesn't represent" Canada, wrote Brian E. Reid.

Right BacKKKlash?
The San Fransisco Board of Supervisors, the same people who wanted to use nicer terms to describe criminals (such as "justice involved person"), have now passed a resolution declaring the NRA a domestic terrorist organization. I think it's time to just shut San Fransisco down. It's an embarrassment to the world.
Did you see the AOC/Pressley are crowd funding legal defense money for the boston rioters that assaulted police? If I was capital police, I'd stop protecting them.
The left is getting crazier and crazier by the day. Raising money for ACTUAL domestic terrorists while declaring a fucking non-profit organization a domestic terrorist organization because they fight to keep one of our rights?
Show me where the NRA donates money to actual terrorist organizations like CAIR does then we can talk about declaring the NRA a domestic terrorist organization. Shit, CAIR hasn't even been declared a terrorist organization yet, not in the US at least.
Why is this Pressley chick even in this retarded squad? I never hear shit from or about her, just the 3 other retards. I mean I'm sure she's extremely stupid too, she just seems like she's tagging along with those other 3 cunts hoping for attention or something.
Is it because they needed a token black chick?
Is Omar not black enough for you, racist?!
I was kind of surprised too when they first mentioned her as being part of the "4 person" squad. I was like "4 people in this dumbass squad? Who dis ho?" I had honestly never even heard of her until that point.
I think it's because she's another dumb ass progressive minority woman who was first elected along with those 3 who says a lot of dumb shit too.
Some on the left are now pushing for people to stop eating cows and pigs and instead start consuming human flesh as a way to save the planet.
How do Democrats even take these people seriously anymore? At what point are you going to say "Enough of this madness" and vote these lunatics out of office and start shaming people for promoting these crazy ideas?
Speaking of "how much more are Democrats going to put up with?" Elizabeth Warren says on her first day in office she is going to sign an executive order that will ban ALL future drilling on public land and offshore for fossil fuels, she will also ban fracking everywhere.
Say goodbye to 2.50 gas and say hello to 4+ dollar gas, everyone! By all means let's reduce our oil output, that's exactly what Russia wants. I thought Russia were the bad guys and Trump was their puppet? Why is it Trump is saying "Fuck you" to Russia by drilling for more oil and Warren wants to present them the perfect gift.
Oh yeah, not to mention what this will do to your heating bill in the winter if you live in a cold climate. Better start learning to speak Russian so maybe you can sweet talk the Russians into not bending us over a barrel when they sell us their natural gas.
Kamala Harris says she would "ban" certain types of eating habits in the US in order to save the planet.
She is pushing for the government to fucking tell us what we can and cannot eat now? The left is no longer flirting with fascism, they are having full on intercourse with it now.
I don't know why she thinks she would have all that power.
There is always the Nuclear Option, anyways, which doesn't care about Senate rules and only requires 51 to close a debate.
Of note, it takes 67 to amend a senate rule. So a 51/49 house split even on party lines will never change the rules.
Because both sides realized they wouldn't be in power forever so they didn't want to be the ones to change the rules only to hand off that power to the next party when they are back in charge.
This is exactly what Republicans warned Reid about when he changed the rules for federal judges then just a few years later McConnell changed the rules and was able to put both Gorsuch and Kavanaugh on the supreme court without a single Democrat vote.
At this point I think it's just a matter of time until the senate does away with all filibuster rules and goes to a simple majority. Republicans don't want to be the ones who do it but I don't see the current crop of Democrats giving a single shit if they are the ones who do it.

Burger King Takes "Ham" Out Of Hamburger Because... Muslims
http://replygif.net/i/661.gifQuote:
If you're hungry, here's a double scoop of idiocy wrapped up in a moron sandwich.
Pluralist.com reports:
The practice will affect three items offered by the restaurant chain, the company said in a statement to Business Insider.
The “Double Spicy Hamburger” will now be known simply as the “Double Spicy Burger.” The “Triple Hamburger with Cheese” is now the “Triple Burger with Cheese.”
Meanwhile, the “Hamburger King Jr” will now be known as the “Kids Burger.”
Burger King made the change in order “to be more respectful of” customers seeking halal items, according to the statement.
Halal, a word meaning “lawful or permitted” in Arabic, is the dietary standard prescribed in the Quran. The Quran forbids Muslims from eating pork.
In September, Burger King introduced bacon into its South African restaurants for the first time, Insider reported. Previously, all of its stores in South Africa had been fully halal.
Since the company added bacon to its menu, 44 South African locations are no longer halal certified.
However, a non-profit organization has certified Burger King’s remaining halal outlets as being in compliance with Shari’ah law.
As noted by Insider’s Phillip de Wet, the word “ham” in hamburger has nothing to do with pork. Rather, “ham” is a reference to Hamburg, Germany, where the sandwich allegedly originated.
Apparently business competition in 2019 means trying to outstupid each other, even in South Africa.

All that mismanaged money in Puerto Rico that Trump's been screaming about...turns out it was his own officials skimming off 1+ billion.
The Department of Justice said in a statement the indictment against the defendants alleges they used Tribble’s positions in FEMA to "defraud the United States."
COBRA Acquisition obtained two contracts worth over $1.8 billion combined while Tribble was overseeing FEMA's work and Ellison was COBRA's president.
So taking bribes to secure a 1.8 billion dollar contract, then not providing said services from the contact is, in your own opinion, not skimming? Lol.
Who cares who hired who. Trump's been screaming about all the mismanaged money in PR, and it's his own retarded administrstion.
No, taking bribes to influence the selection process to award contracts to the person bribing you is not “skimming” money off the top. If the work wasn’t done then I imagine they don’t get paid or they will be sued to get the money back. I know the government is incompetent but I don’t think they’re quite that bad where they give out ~2 billion dollars upfront and then shrug their shoulders if the work isn’t done.
You made it sound like Trump hired this person. Also I really don’t think you understand what is happening here. She was accepting bribes to award contracts to the company who bribed her, that money was going to be awarded anyways, she just influenced who was awarded those contracts.
Before you start: yes it’s still illegal to accept bribes and she should go to jail if the allegations are true, but you’re acting like she was responsible for 2 billion dollars disappearing. You really should stop reading the New York Times.
Definitely sounds like there was some skimming going on.Quote:
The Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general found that when Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority entered into a 12-month contract with Cobra, FEMA was “unsound” in its evaluation of the company’s eligibility, and the “reasonableness” of the costs estimated for the work were inaccurate, according to a report released in July. FEMA’s analysis of Cobra’s labor rates, equipment costs and fees “were not always logical, complete, and supported,” the report said. The firm at one point had roughly 600 people working on the island.
Are people still virtue signaling/pretending they care about Puerto Rico?
They are supposed to get three bids anyways. There has to be a very compelling reason to take the highest bid.
Since when? If someone gives you a bid of 10k to fix up your house and you agree to it in a contract then it turns out someone else would have done the same for 8k the person who bid 10k is not obligated to return any money and it isn’t illegal or fraud. In this case the only thing the company did wrong was bribe someone to influence the decision to give the award to his company.
The bribe is clearly the crime here, not overbidding. The only way this would be fraud is if in the contract they said they would use the more expensive Widget A but instead used the cheaper Widget Z and pocketed the rest. In fact that would be a perfect example of skimming off the top.
Even if this was a case of skimming off the top, which from everything I have read it doesn't sound like it is, it still isn't the entire 1.8 billion dollars that was skimmed like Alfster said in his first post.
The person accepting the bribe is committing the fraud, that is literally what they are being bribed to do.
Does the government decide what the labor costs are too then? Because that's how I thought it worked; companies try their best to factor in labor and material costs to get a lower bid while not shorting themselves on labor or giving themselves too much in labor to price themselves out.
Wait that's an actual quote? When I read that quote before I thought it was just someone being a smart ass. But someone really is angry that Pennywise isn't an "ally" to the gay cause?
What's even the problem? The clown eats a gay couple or something? So people want more gay representation in movies but they can't be the victims of a murderous clown? Isn't THAT anti-gay?
Pennywise killed 2 gay dudes in the beginning, in a significantly less brutal fashion than what he did to them in the book. Also, said book apparently described the 2 gay dudes as all around good people.
But hey it's ok to kill kids (unless they're gay of course), just don't kill any gay people because that's how equality in 2019 works.
The guy suing Kevin Spacey for sexual assault has suddenly died.
I guess more Democrats are waking up to how they can solve their problems: just get the person to "commit suicide" and the problem goes away since the media won't give a single shit since they are too busy smearing Trump and Kavanaugh 24/7.
Holy shit. She's claiming it wasn't anti-Semitic too.Quote:
At a closed meeting, the City Council president in Trenton, New Jersey’s capital, used an anti-Semitic slur to describe the negotiation tactics of a Jewish city attorney.
“They were able to wait her out and jew her down,” the president, Kathy McBride, said, according to a recording.

Beta O'Rourke lamented the fact that some people brought "assault weapons" to his rally at Kent State because in 1970 four students were shot dead.
First of all: if you have to go back almost five decades to prove whatever point you are trying to prove, your point is probably shit to begin with.
Second of all: THE OHIO NATIONAL GUARD WERE THE ONES WHO SHOT THOSE STUDENTS! The Ohio National Guard, also known as THE GOVERNMENT.
Beta is basically using an example of a government shooting to make the case that ordinary citizens should be unarmed and only the government should be armed.
This is the problem with the current Democrat party; they have no shame left anymore.

Here is actual video evidence of Antifa blocking an old woman from crossing the street while screaming in her face "Nazi scum, off our streets!"

I'm curious to hear the spin from Mr. Liberal Elite Briarfox, or admitted racist piece of shit Anal Lee, or really anyone suffering from a severe case of TDS. You people are always good for a laugh when you're spinning.
Maybe the old woman really is a Nazi? Maybe she said something mean to them so they were justified? Or maybe just the fact that she's an elderly white woman so clearly she's racist and deserved this? Come on, don't leave me hanging, bros!
