Full Auto or Semi Auto?

Soon David Hogg will tell us that if package bombs were outlawed, this would never have happened.

Perhaps if there were “Bomb Free Zone” signs posted.

Sure sounds like payback for something. Guess we’ll see what the official narrative is.

Yup.

It can’t be because liberals have eliminated racism. Oh wait...

If all the victims were white, I doubt very seriously if they would be considering race as a possible factor.

There’s not too much new stuff posted these days, scroll down a little and you might find it.

Wonder if...all the victims were white...would they think it was a race issue?
