We have to fire this clown.
Last night there were 5 cops shot in a standoff in New Hampshire.When I went to bed one of them was confirmed dead and the standoff was still ongoing.Gonna check a NH station’s website for more info.I hope the situation in Chicopee turns out well.
I don’t want to see anyone get hurt. That being said, I have long predicted that US citizens would eventally start shooting at government workers. It’s not right, but I think I know why someone might want to.
Ouch!
Getting shot in the Chicopee sounds like it hurts.
