The ugly destroy the good....
Yeah ....
Also which is why I always carry and to watch my Six as dad told me.
You’d think one would be safe in a Barnes & Noble store. Riff-raff don’t normally patronize bookstores, and it was probably jammed with Christmas shoppers.
He was there to pick up some books to start his path of becoming a doctor.
What is it with B&N stores these days? We used to hang out at ours occasionally, but then homeless wanderers started frequenting the Cafe area, often begging customers to buy them a sandwich. The last time we were there there was a massively obese, smelly guy in a corner chair snoring like a bear.
It's almost as if the CRS previously swept them under the rug?
Now we're getting a least one horrific crime a week, and often against white females (have not seen a photo yet of the decedent in this case).
It’s an amazing culture though.
This guy is 40 years old but going on 60!
The libertarians are looking a little unkempt these days.
Ferals gonna feral.
Unfortunately, they prey on people minding their own business.
Prayers for the woman and her family.
We do not have to live like this.
Those animals are mercenaries obama is using to effect his transformation of The United States.
So much for the Pursuit Of Happiness.
They have stolen our freedom and carefree lives away from us.
And it is the liberals and RINOs in the government at all levels who are responsible.
Once we were able to go shopping or to movies, concerts, retaurants, etc. with hardly a concern beyond a banged door in the parking lot.
Now we have to be the alert, on guard and suspicious of just about everyone.
We have had much of the enjoyment of our everyday lives stolen from us and now have to be wary and cautious instead of happy and carefree.
I know. It’s an amazing culture /sarcasm.
Those animals are mercenaries obama is using to effect his transformation of The United States.
Maybe a pictorial history of rap.
“We do not have to live like this.”
Then why are we?
