Why are we even giving these IDIOTS any free air time? Why even pay attention to them? This is what I’d do if anyone of them try to attack me for wearing animal fur. I’d kick the shit out of them. If they try to bomb my house, I’ll bomb theirs. If they try to hurt me or mine, I’ll hurt 5 or 10 of theirs. Understand this, these people, like ISIS, you can never talk, using common sense, to them. The only thing they understand is “FORCE”.

It’s a fur piece across a beaver.
