It’s clearly racist to post (and watch) the video.

Time to start “Shooting On Sight.” No apologies here. “Desperate Times Call For Desperate Measures!”

IIRC “Bear Spray” is not as strong as “People Spray.” Bear Spray comes in a larger, farther reaching bottle.

I wouldn’t even buy a “high end bag” at this point.

These companies are losing billions. To ghetto culture.

This is what a collapsed society & failed nation state looks like.

There is very likely no coming back. But we have to hope & try.
