Officers were responding to a report of shots fired and a possible gunshot victim at an intersection near the Ybor City neighborhood around 1 a.m., Chief Brian Duggan told reporters Monday. A crowd of hundreds was at the scene when police arrived.

Well, BLM is directly responsible for the ambush and assassination of 8 policemen in Dallas and Baton Rouge in 2015.

“Time to go all NIKA RIOT on them.”

Need to find a Theodora (Justinian was going to scoot), and a Belisarias and Mundus. Those types are in short supply these days.
But I agree.
Heads on pikes and all.

Reagan? Most riots were long gone before then, except for Liberty City, IIRC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980_Miami_riots

Was it the riots, Vietnam, or the assassination of RFK that gave us Nixon?

Stagflation, Iran hostages, and earlier gas coupons were just a few of the items that brought in Reagan.

>> There is literally no practical way to stop this sort of thing

Disagree. It’s corporate Marxism that got us here. And that’s where the strategic focus should be.

He will have to, if He’s so inclined, because it doesn’t look like anyone else is going to do it.

For some reason, the Hickok Gif at 35 comes to mind when I see Old Glory burned by Communists who get off on vandalizing and destroying our monuments, while the useless police just stand there watching.

A line of officers armed with riot guns with extended magazines are the cure for riots.

Holds 25 mini 12 gauge short-range buckshot loads:

I'd LOVE to get one, but $1,300+ is a bit much.

And it is likely illegal in a whole lot of states.

Nope, legal in all 50, according to Kel-Tec. Pretty much sold out though, lol.

[Kel-Tec shotgun] And it is likely illegal in a whole lot of states.

I looked it up and it appears it is legal as it is a pump shotgun. Ammo capacity might be a sticking point in some blue states though.

When you get a chance, check out the YouTube vids on this gun.
