 Are all 'journalists' this stupid now? Are the authorities so cowed that they cannot state a simple fact? I have to truly hope that there are some real old-school FBI people left that have dedicated some of the past few years infiltrating antifa organization(s). And when Trump is reelected, he'll make things happen there to allow them to destroy that terrorist group.

    A cheap drive by weapon that sprays bullets in a general direction that is reasonably concealable.
Also a pretty good way to break your wrist.

    There was a touch screen on the computer that asked “are you a terrorist”.
He clicked “yes”.

    I’ve noticed one thing curiously omitted for at least several weeks to months:
“See something, say something.”
Anyone else notice it, too???

    What kind of soyboy pansy could break their wrist with a draco?
Also, from a vice, mine does about a 4” group at 100 yards. Was thinking about putting a dot on it but never got around to it and now I have 2.
And at $800, they’re not cheap.

    “Old coot Biden was screaming about gun control yesterday. He was all evil looking and had that cootish sneer as he yelled.”
 I thought he really looked odd, but yes, he was evil looking. “Old Coot Biden”, - that name really fits.
 Notice that he looks years older than Trump. As one Grandmother would say, “that's the meanness coming out “.

Maybe he just wanted to feel safe on the subway.

    He displays pure malevolence when he yells and whispers like he does. His face even contorts to look evil.
I have no doubt he is a bad person but sometimes I think his malevolent behavior, including the clenched fists, make him think he looks strong and tough in his addled half a brain.

    A show arrest.
Just trying to show that security is up to snuff.
It can indeed spot a guy walking around with a mask carrying an AK 47.
Sounds like a commendation is in order if not a medal.
