Another Baby Boomer who is still stuck in the 1960s. Pathetic.

Same today.

Be careful when you call for violence. You never know how it will bounce back on oneself.

Yeah, keep it up LA goons.

Your city is very vulnerable to retribution.

Where’d you say you got your water, power, food?

Not to mention the “big one” that’s waiting to complete your transition to Mexifornia.

Bring it, Obamahole.

I am reminded of something I read years ago which was written by an Army Ranger back when gangs were threatening violence in some neighborhood.

"I and all my friends are trained professional killers. The current status quo does a lot more to protect you from us than it does to protect us from you."

I’m waiting for Obamarry to come look at the camera and tell their butthurt followers to stop it.

Should be any minute now, right?

So the gun banners are calling for violence against us gun owners?

Let's see how that works out.

Let’s think this through;

1. Trump supporters are pro 2nd Amendment.
2. Veterans overwhelmingly voted for Trump.

Does this moron really want to start something?

I have been reading commentary about what would likely happen in the event of a civil war, and people have pointed out that the cities are particularly vulnerable. It does not take a great deal of interference from insurgents to cut power and water and even ingress and egress from the cities.

Should such a thing occur, the cities would quickly become death traps. They depend heavily on things outside of their area of influence to maintain their current lifestyles. A Few thousand men could bring them to their knees just by damaging their logistical support systems.

Isn’t instigating riots a crime?

They believe themselves to be clothed in the armor of righteousness, and therefore invincible.

It will be brutal to watch reality collide with their fantasy.

We’ve known for many years that tolerance was a dagger hidden in the flower bouquet. Rather predictable, these Lenin clones.

Why call for other people to do your dirty work? Do it yourself.
