Of course it wasn’t but propaganda works on the stupid people that call themselves democrats.

The phenomenon that I term “the meth cowboy” (I may have used this term on this forum in the past; not sure and too lazy to look it up) has been with us for a long time. It was another of those things that I just sort of thought were cartoons and funny (like drag queens) and then found out that hey, this stuff is real.

Small towns and rural areas of the US are being ravaged by cartels and easily-available vices like drugs. (Sorry about the long interval but I was making some spaghetti.)

Meth-Head Matthew is now just another cultural icon and there are plenty of examples of his ilk in almost any neighborhood you could care to name. No, silly: He’s not an icon of tolerance or anti-homophobia-ism. He’s an icon of how youth are being called to the great culling, and they are showing up IN DROVES.

“A few initial elements possibly corroborating such a story were there: Shepard was, indeed, gay; Aaron McKinney—one of the murderers, along with Russell Henderson—used gay slurs in his confession; and McKinney’s attorneys attempted to introduce the “gay panic defense,””

McKinney and Henderson, elected to enter the above into the record, both during questioning and during trial.

Capitalizing on an issue and distorting it into rage bait to change the culture in society.

Another of the fun things you can do when your side has full media supremacy.

Straight from the court transcript as well as the police report. AND he wasn’t tied up to a fence, he was draped over it.

The ‘scene of the crime’ is just a few miles down the road from a ranch my brother worked at and I’ve spoken to the one that found him ALIVE and called 911. MS died at the hospital, just like fentenyl floyd.
