Yes, pretty sure he was part of the crowd, destroying the monument.
We have lost our country. The barbarians are inside and in power and you’re only looking to the next election??!! We are sunk.
What’s for breakfast? Scrambled eggs and siracha sauce.
I should have added the /s
we have clear video of the two girls and boy who were responsible for that. Riot-caused death is a pretty stiff penalty, yes?
a protester got hurt? thats a shame.
That statue fought back harder than most Republicans.
“That statue fought back harder than most Republicans.”
Post of the day.
Gruesome.
Hope he was a white.
Now he really has/had a head full of mush.
Meat becomes vegetable.
So what the hell is a “scull?” I think they mean skull.
I agree, especially if they move the threats of violence and destruction into the protected suburban areas. Then the 30-60 women vote will shift to Trump when these people get their heads out of the View and see reality.
I posted earlier in the day that since contemporary Southern men apparently lack the stones to resist the barbarians destroyers, that the Confederate dead would have to rise from the grave to do so. And, by golly, one did deal out justice, with hopefully more to come.
Darwin watch...
He learned to spell in public scull!
He was Black.
If he has already reproduced, then watch over, disqualified.
But writhing on the ground with his “scull” showing doesn’t bode well for future reproduction.
“His scull”?
Wish journalists would take time to proof-read their articles. Think it’s becoming another one of their lost arts, like reporting facts, not feelings.
but he’ll still be able to vote in November!
