“This emergency declaration will provide the necessary support to localities as they work to keep our communities safe,” Northam said in a release. “There are many voices speaking out for justice and healing across the United States and in our Commonwealth, but others are exploiting this pain and inciting violence.”

“If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.”

Will Ralph treat rioters as kindly as he treats new born infants?

They're all hiding under their beds, waiting for the right moment to insert their beaks into it (preferably, after the all the looting and rioting fizzles), acting all statesmanlike and blaming Trump in the past tense. Obama's lead from behind strategy, the puking cowards.

Ever have the urge to want to deservedly beat the shit out of someone so badly, it borders on blind rage?

Take a knee and wear black face and it will all go away.

Does that mean Ralph won’t be going to the beach without a mask?

If blackface is covered by a mask is it still blackface?

If a mask is covered by blackface is it still a mask?

If a knee is applied to the groin is it still taking a knee?

The things that make you go “hmmmmmm....”

You have to be my age to remember Peter, Paul, & Mary. Or as I remember them, two convicted child molesters and one wild-eyed pro-Viet Cong radical.

Anyway, looks like Blackface Northam will soon send out his flying monkeys to confiscate “assault weapons” from white people.

I’m sorry to use a racial reference since I have interacted with decent black folks all my life. Right now there are large numbers of them who are armed and ready to defend their lives, homes, and businesses.

Everything this lying cheat of a gubernator does is suspect.

Where are the riots in Virginia? Well, not on my street in northern Virginia and not on my daughter’s street. We’ve got too many legal weapons and lots of ammo plus at least two combat veterans of two wars plus maybe some of us old guys from Nam.

From what I’ve seen, the violence was in Northam’s own city of Richmond and one other black dominated city down there. A lot of Virginia is still semi-rural so these citizens don’t put up with rioting crap like wealthy, city/suburban dwelling, guilt-ridden, unarmed white liberals do.

Also our black population is a lot smarter, better educated, and more hard working than in many other places that are really nothing but Democrat Party welfare plantations and ghettoes.

Never had any problem in our mixed population neighborhood(s) since I’ve been here from 1966. We respect each other, help each other, and protect each other. Don’t recall many liberals on our “Neighborhood Watch” team when we had to deal with drug-dealers and drunks who were smashing up our cars at night. They all got put in jail or deported.

The only fly in the ointment or burr up the butt could be Arlington and Fairfax Counties Soros-bought and paid for leftist, if not Marxist Commonwealth Attorneys. Only time will tell but meanwhile, we keep our powder dry, our guns well oiled, and training up to date, our CCW permits up-to-date, and have a lot of cops living amongst us. Seems to work for me and my neighborhood. Give it a try. You might like it and it could save your home, business or life.

If a .45cal 230gr HP goes thru a mask and blackface, is it still a protester/rioter/looter?
