It sounds like this was recent. One was 12 days ago and I think this was yesterday.
Send France more grenades!
The Muslims and the Communists have teamed up. As for losing a hand, FAFO.
What a shame. - Jerry Seinfeld.
Nationwide demonstrations against civilization.
There, fixed it.
“I want to walk around and complain about stuff.”
There’s the answer.
I understand your point, but the problem is
I object to the idea of deporting everyone. That is a simple answer to a complex problem. Yep, get rid of the obvious bad ones which Trump is doing. Prevent the bad ones from entry.
But how do we test for good citizens? Maybe foreign and domestic?
How do we make good citizens? That is the goal whether foreign or domestic.
What is a good citizen?
We can’t be all fence (conservatives) anymore that be all gate (liberals).
Gen 3:24 After sending them out, the LORD God stationed mighty cherubim to the east of the Garden of Eden. And he placed a flaming sword that flashed back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.
There is much wisdom in the Bible. Note the above. Some eyes go to the fence. Now that is an impenetrable fence - angels. Ain’t nobody getting through that fence.
Some eyes might go to the gate. Some think the purpose of a gate is to keep people out and that is true to a degree. But another purpose is to let people in. A gate is not a fence.
A gate lets qualified people in. What is that quality? There are some good aspects of catch and release. If they have been here 10 years, not caused problems, aren’t on public welfare etc. Many potential good citizens are currently stuck with the current gate.
Further thinking: Who is the gate in the above verse? What is the criteria for entry? What is the gate giving access to? It is not the garden of Eden.
Might be a good model of fences and gates to follow in our immigration situation although it will not be perfect in our world.
Thank goodness God is not all fence.
Okay, but why as individuals were/are they so susceptible to this “brainwashing” in the first place? They jump in and don’t think twice about it later.
I don’t understand cult behavior.
A long article with many updates and many photos. This is growing. The muslim-marxist alliance is getting bolder.

as the nationwide demonstrations against the higher cost of living and school conditions
Lying sacks of you know what! This all started by inbred muslims, and they know it. If the white kids are now joining in, it’s because they’re stupid ignoramuses we have been indoctrinated.
Sounds like the rioter picked up the grenade and blew off his own hand.
Just a flick of the wrist.

Mohammed, what is the sound of one hand clapping?

“It’s not so bad. I still have one good hand.”
Does the name Grosskreutz ring a bell? Think Kenosha, Wi. 2020.
“It’s not so bad. I still have one good hand.”
Depends on which one he jerks off with.
Yes, LePen would call out the military. Locked and loaded with real bullets. Sending the muslims to their 72 goats and the marxists to the hot, hot gulag.
You gotta hand it to him.
Evidently it was a 15 year teenager that has to live without a hand.
Basic rule of thumb, when in a rowdy crowd and the police throw a device at you, do not pick it up.
Got to wonder who is paying for these well planed spontaneous demonstrations because they ain’t cheap.
