Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
Robin Hood never shot the Sheriff...of Nottingham.
Disgusting. The youth of today are products of a Godless society.
The maggots have gone from licking Hamass keister to licking Luigi’s massive eyebrows. All we can hope is that each one of these maggots loses a friend or family member this Christmas. Murdering azhos. Hopefully, the Feds will send this maggot to hell.
They are moving toward a communist-style purge.
Who is paying them?
This is turning into the new ‘OJ SIMPSON’ case.
He’s quite likely to be found ‘NOT GUILTY’ just as OJ was, by a jury of simpletons..................
Looks like recycled AnTeefahs.
The DNC’s Hamas wing in parkas.
Antoefahs.
Lol.
Overcharging as Murder 1 "terrorism" isn't going to help. They should have stuck with Murder 2, same punishment but avoiding the circus. The NY DA is blowing this already as they WANT to make a spectacle of healthcare - not of this murder.
Accessories after the fact. Promoting violence and criminal behavior.
Democrats are mostly peaceful.
The USA cannot endure with us allowing enemies of the state to roam free.
Decades of video games, movies, television shows and the crap they call rap. All indoctrinating us with nihilistic violence. It’s destroyed our culture.
“All we can hope is that each one of these maggots loses a friend or family member this Christmas”
C’mon FRiend... that’s not nice.
“Insurrection”
So murder is now considered a good thing?
I heard very reliable stories from CA that once Harris got in, we were going to see the REAL left wing agenda.
They were hiding it until the election.
This is probably a small part of what they had in mind.
The GREAT news is that there is a new sheriff coming to Pennsylvania early next month: Newly elected Attorney General Dave Sunday (R) who is a no-nonsense prosecutor.
He will take office within the window for bringing charges against this rent-a-mob.
