Read the comments there is very little support for this guy since he was in the media although he was just a camerman.

Celine Dion would approve. “Just let them touch those things for once .”

The country is gone especially 90% of California. It is quickly becoming like a combination of Mexico and South Africa and law enforcement is overwhelmed . The demorats are redistributing the wealth just wait till they redistribute the land.

From what I understand most MSM types also carry large quantities of cash - - in case they get stranded. And they're usually out of shape and don't press charges.... Just sayin’... Especially CBS News people...

Yesterday I saw (Berkeley) some guy walking down the street openly puffing at a crack pipe. This was a major city street and he was very brazen about it. I’d never seen that before.
