A man told today how he was shot three times in a London street for wearing a Barack Obama T-shirt.

Dube Egwuatu was buying a mobile telephone top-up card in an off-licence when the gunman confronted him and glared at the top, which carries an image of the Democrat US presidential candidate underneath the legend 'Believe'.

The man then launched into a tirade of racist slurs, shouting 'I f***ing hate n*****s' and urging 36-year-old Mr Egwuatu to leave the shop with him.

They got the first one clean but my Chesapeake Bay Retriever (an American breed) almost caught the thieves getting the second one.

I’m going to pick up some more today and then me and Jake are going to wait.................”

smear Prussian blue machinist dye all over the corners, when the sh#tbirds pick the sign up, it’ll take months for it to wear off their hands.

With a BB Gun.

I saw headlines earlier that neglected to mention this [very important] fact. Couldn't be bias from the MSM could it?

The weapon used was not only not a real gun, it was not even an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle, the Notorious Street-Sweeping Assault Style Eye Putter-Outer.

While the victim is not really real dead, he is still at risk of a deadly infection, since he has to rely on the National Health System.

Interesting. Racially motivated attacks and murders are not infrequent in the UK. Usually it’s attacks against whites. These are not reported as hate crimes or racial incidents.

If you’re in a larger city you might have a Grainger outlet that would have it.
