Harris’s white dudes?

“He said something about “recons” and “missions,” about needing to “deal with the evil government.””
Fruit of the Democrat party incitement to violence.
“Be thankful you’re not Mr. Yellow.”
The fellow thar got shot and spent the rest of the movie nearly bleeding out, he was unlucky. He was also the undercover police informer? Tim Roth?
