Begs for calm? I didn’t see that. I saw an arrogant jerk trying to fan the flames without appearing to.

I guess his comments to his commie rioter friends of “stay the course” really meant “stay calm”. Clown Prince nobama is a traitor to Western Civilization and to the United States. He should be in a Fed SuperMax for the rest of his worthless existence.
