Society has collapsed, folks. We are at a point that we must be hypervigilent. The democrats have imported so many foreign soldiers who use all sorts of weapons to kill us, we have no choice but to see everyone we do not know as a potential threat.

Prove me wrong.

Since the driver/terrorist is not white, the media will blame the vehicle.

Now that we have been invaded, and the invasion continues, it is more important than ever to be vigilant and well armed at all times.

They already have. According to the first few sentences of the article, the vehicle was acting autonomously. Apparently the driver was inconsequential.

Prayers for the victims and their families — they were all probably struggling to find a better life.

The article says that authorities initially said this was an intentional act, then walked that don’t know the motive. Apparently intentional or accidental depends on the ethnicity of the drunk driver.

“... it is more important than ever to be vigilant and well armed at all times.”


As long as your weapon carries no more than 8 rounds. There is no rational need for any more.

More info:

Brownsville police investigator Martin Sandoval said the crash happened about 8:30 a.m.

Advertisement Shelter director Victor Maldonado of the Bishop Enrique San Pedro Ozanam Center said he reviewed the shelter’s surveillance video on Sunday morning after receiving a call about the crash.

The city bus stop is across the street from the shelter and is not marked. There was no bench, and people waiting there were sitting along the curb, Maldonado said. He said most of the victims were Venezuelan men.

“What we see in the video is that this SUV, a Range Rover, just ran the light that was about a 100 feet away and just went through the people who were sitting there in the bus stop,” Maldonado said.

He said the SUV flipped after running up on the curb and continued moving for about 200 feet (about 60 meters). Some people who were walking on the sidewalk about 30 feet away from the main group were also hit, Maldonado said

It is surprising how so little gun violence has been directed toward the invaders.

This country is rapidly becoming unfit for human habitation except for its migrant invaders

Seven ILLEGAL ALIENS waiting at a bus stop in a Texas border city. Fixed it.

When the traitorous puppet regime assist in the systematic invasion of the USA, the citizens will take matters into their own hands.

Too bad it wasn’t Mayorkas and Biden getting run over like bowling pins.

That was horrible. I don’t think they knew what hit them.

And if they had not come into the US and if they had been deported, they would still be alive.
