    No. Never said ok. I said it was stupid on both sides. But that was before I saw how far he had run trying to attack someone with the sword with the full video. Stupidity doesn't win you sympathy. I hope he will be ok. And never do some dumb **** like that again.

    I just got a report that a Molotov cocktail was thrown into a Somali pharmacy in my neighborhood by three white males. The owner of the pharmacy was able to put it out before it caused any damage.

    Yea, obviously you gotta be somewhat “off” to be out and about during this sh*t wielding a sword. Not a good idea but it doesn’t justify the actions we see taking place in that video. I hope the guys ok too but he looked pretty well f**ked at the end of that video.

    This sort of thing is sadly unsurprising.

    They’re here to pile on like the cowards that they are and passing out racist label to anyone who has a brain, moral and some balls to speak out against this bullshiet anarchy and lame ass behaviors.

    And people think in America the authorities are there to serve the people and won't crack down on innocent people just to get things to calm down. By the way, this is a good listen to get some perspective:

    Here is some video of Antifa instigating racial conflict and doing their best to stoke the flames of these riots:

    Don't you know it takes a **** load of funding to post stuff on social media?

    The deep state and Soros plans are coming into fruition.

    Good ****, These Antifa type folks need to be put in there place and confronted on a regular basis, they had the nerve to write BLM.

    These looters need to be put on blast as well they are just opportunist.

    Some more signs of hope. A food shelf was doing a collection at a local middle school and the turnout was overwhelming. There was literally blocks of donated food.

    The freeways are shut down again. There is a very large protest on the I-35W bridge right now. FYI this is the replacement to the bridge that collapsed in 2007.

    @rocketsjudoka if you see a really short, buffed National Guardsman, it is probably my daughter in law's brother.

    Holy Crap!

    A tanker truck just drove into the protest on the I-35W bridge and now protesters are attacking the cab.

    The highway is closed so the truck shouldn't have been able to drive onto the bridge.
