Burn your OWN cross and “it’s a hate crime”.

Vandalize someone else’s religious display and “we aren’t sure”.

Our leaders and authority people are such double faced hypocrites. Seriously.

Then they get p1ssy when we refuse to affirm and applaud them when they lie straight to our faces.

This is why normal people hate authority.

They see justice isnt administered evenly. They kowtow to criminals of certain groups, they withhold justice from those they dont like, if there are people that are their enemies, they find something in the mountain of laws they can go after them for, and if there isnt anything, they investigate them and attempt to get them on a process charge.

Society is not going to overcome these people because the evil is too entrenched and the evildoers are not fearful of serious punishment. We either go cwii/rwii which will be bad, or we get picked off one by one until Jesus comes back and deals with them.

I wish the idiot/idiots who set the Virgin Mary Statue on fire could have met R. Lee Ermey when he was alive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWmfLFahRXM

These days you can’t tell if it’s a crime until you know the race or politics of the suspect.

So True. People loot buildings and throw frozen water bottles at police and they are not arrested. But let someone use a handgun to keep a mob from invading her home, it's a crime.

Of course it is serious, everyone knows that only Christians hate. The destruction of their symbols is an approved loving action to erase hate. (mostly sarcastic)

It’s only a hate crime if it was a black VM.

True.

The religious people who do not support President Trump are not only worthless cowards but also self-deluded fools. The Marxists will never permit their rituals and tax free churches and synagogues. They are on the way to Communist China style suppression. They should have done the good thing and stood up to denounce BLM and the Dems and Marxists.

I have heard the cynical and I'm sure true statement that religious leaders hate to speak out about the truth because the non PC tack will cost them money in tithing and collections. How greedy and dishonest. How low.

Example:Rev. Theodore Rothrock who lost his position in Carmel, IN for saying BLM was not a gentle civil rights group but is a Marxist anti-family, anti-Christian hate group. He was censured, suspended and then removed. Big, courageous, honest religious leaders?---no.
