More libertarian than conservative isn’t he?

He should not have apologized. Just makes it worse.

You simply don’t run down rioters and looters who are threatening you or your stuff!

For one it’s really hard on the bodywork.

I guess I’m too far under the radar for Twitter. I tweeted the same thing to Todd Starnes. Fire or floor it.

Don’t run over them. Throw a net over them and then run checks for outstanding warrants.

Run them down?? My dad said that, too...

Does anyone know if any BEAUTY SUPPLY stores got looted, as in FERGUSON and Baltimore?

How you know you are in a poor area in Tampa: Check cashing places, places advertising they accept EBT and beauty supply stores....

A Beauty Supply Store chain is called - NO KIDDING - 'FAT BOY BEAUTY SUPPLY'

Too late. He had to remove the tweet to get reinstated.
