One of the most evil days/nights in history. And riots disguised as “spontaneous demonstrations” are nothing new.

Keep an eye on the Rat party tonight. They’ll be celebrating by sending their Black shirted and masked thugs out to go and damage property and attack innocent citizens.

1938. The same year Hitler was TIME’S Man of The Year.
