Black Lives Matter, unless another “Nig@*” capp his azzzz

Did you see the court ruling? If you use the N word, and your black, you’re exempt from the law? Kid you not, saw the article on Breitbart this evening.

Funny how unconcerned black folks are about black on black mass murder?

OTOH - it's considerate of them to use such a clear code to label the areas regular people should avoid.

It's more subtle to identify dangerous areas as MLK Jr. thoroughfares than with warnings like on the old world maps.

Decent and lawful citizens residing in New Jersey can thankfully rely upon their CCW in troubling times like this.

Sort of: there is a stretch of highway on Staten Island between the Bayonne Bridge and the Staten Island Expressway named after MLKjr. No PJs and no people to do drive-bys. What was their thinking?

Didn’t the fool mayor of Jersey City just make it into a “sanctuary city”? For criminals, maybe.

“Gunfire first erupted near Martin Luther King Drive”

I’d call that a clue.

Jersey - tough on guns for the law-abiding citizens - not so much on the criminals who use them for illegal activities.
