The Democratic party at work again.

They will keep getting people shot and killed in hopes of getting us to relinquish our 2nd amendment rights

Gunfire simply “erupts” in the most random places. You can’t even go outside anymore without it erupting out of nowhere.

Ban all guns, it’s the only way to stop this.

A thousand people gathered on Easter Sunday night to “celebrate” in a public park.

W.C. Patton, president of the Alabama NAACP in 1947, probably would not approve of the violence.

No, the real thanks should go to Smiley for dropping $5000 of his own money and calling out the cowards and their stupid “no snitch” policy and telling people to support the police. This crap won’t stop until more people of color start calling it out for what it is.

It’s all this “gun violence.” Guns just randomly wandering around and suddenly they “erupt” in a shooting spree. And if the shooter is of a certain religion or demographic, “we will never know why the shooting happened.”

The “no snitching” policy exists because people have and will be killed for so called “snitching”.. Cooperating with police isn’t safe for folks in these neighborhoods. Retaliation is real.
