Dying over a bumper sticker or a pin or a sign ain’t worth it.

Your family loses you, you don’t get to vote, and if, God forbid, a real war breaks out, we lose good people for no reason before it starts.

Like that poor guy from last week or the week before. And now his son has no father. His wife, no husband.

I’m not a coward.

But I won’t be careless with my life.

That helps no one.

I live in a Very Pro Trump area. People have all kinds of Trump stuff. But it’s Staten Island.

I wouldn’t use any of it in the other four boroughs, save maybe a few neighborhoods. And even then, the liberal neighborhoods are very close by

I thought better of going to Harlem and gathering a crowd to preach to them “all lives matter.” And “Love your neighbor.”

Their tolerance level is about .0000000001 on a scale of 1-100 as it is. I leave that stuff to Mister Rogers Neighborhood re-runs.
