It's about damn time. No one asked the rest of us (as in the 99%) whether WE were ready to crap all over our combined history, yet LEO stood by and let it happen. If the attitude toward the riots and looting had been a bit more forceful (as in shooting a couple of them), this shit would have stopped in a heartbeat.

That's what I said from day one start shooting the rioters and looters
DeleteJust remember your elected Democrat representatives choose rioters and looters over their law abiding citizens
Why? Isn't defacement and destruction of public property already illegal?
ReplyDeleteWho's going to enforce this?
ReplyDeleteGive me the authority, and a free hand, and within two days, I will have a dozen people on at least on site, locked and loaded,and ready to defend the history of a country with a varied history, but a history worth preserving, to teach our newest generations the truth, and help them to avoid this crap going on right now,with liberals trying to sanitize our past.

Those people were certain nothing would happen to them because they were "on the right side of history." And, speaking of history, the Associated Press writer emotes: "On June 19, or Juneteenth, the day marking the end of slavery in the United States..." Jeezus. That is one of those things stated and restated so many times this year, next year it will be a historical fact.
