Didn’t their failed candidate say something in the debates about not accepting the results of an election undermining our Democracy (her word not mine). That was before she lost and encouraged her followers to Resist against the winner.

Good. There are no protesters. They are all rioters.

So his mistake was rioting in a Red State and not a welcoming Blue State.

Don’t want to risk getting hurt at the riot? Don’t go to the riot.

This moron thinks it was worth it to lose an eye. No appreciation for God’s gifts.

This is only part of the story being reported. It turns out that half his brain leaked out through his empty eye socket but nobody noticed it at first because it looked like a teardrop.

Son, show them you are OK.

Remember, when they hurt you, turn your other cheek. So they can take a shot at the other one. Ha, ha!

Looting rules allow you to have a seeing looting dog. Ha, ha!

He'll get you a bunch of dog biscuits. Ha, ha!

Don't let him pee on your leg. Oh, you won't see it coming. Ha, ha!

I like your list.

In that same spirit, write out the list for a female terrorist thug that lost an eye. Make it as good.

Jack was awesome.
He never played a role that I didn’t like.
Support Your Local Gunfighter & Support Your Local Sheriff were funny and his parts were played to perfection.

Thanks. Some video footage would also be useful for comparing his version of the incident with the police account.

Insurrection because YOUR SIDE LOST THE ELECTION is un-American.

Partner, great post.

I am so glad that we are using pepper spray and tear gas to get at the protesters.

We finally have a POTUS that is using the tools to correct the behavior of these protesters who are literally destroying property and stealing other people's property.

"The America Hating Piece of Nasty Work Obama" would not even lift a finger when Saint Michael Brown tried to kill the Police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. I still remember the protests and the destroying and stealing property.

We could not even get the records on Saint Michael Brown because he had a nasty rap sheet.

I recall a protester nicknamed pepperballs or something.”

Great video of Mr. Pepperballs. Keep hoping for another one. They should all be peppered in the balls.

Ah, good point!

Exactly what is this cause? Does it have an objective? For the antifa types, their objective is to destroy America. The common thugs out there just want the loot and then have politicians throw more taxpayer dollars at them.
