They shoot, and THEY MISS !

Targetted killings of “Non Muslims” is what they were going for.

Oh well, maybe next time.

You better believe the left would want to do the same to any conservative comic.

If there was one.

It would be interesting to find out exactly what the comedian said while he was “poking fun”.
