Just look at those poor, starving people. /s

[caww]

Well at least they’re taking care of their own and past time...but this will be short lived for they’re really rewarding terrible bad behavior....they burned they’re town and now hand out the goods...after a lot of them looted stores...so the pattern is established..again...and will repeat in the future.

Wonder how many would show up for Volunteer day?

[caww]

Not many...most were adults, some with their children...most kids were otherwise occupied. when it came to cleaning up from the riots

I have no idea who paid for lunch however given the location and circumstances I’d bet taxpayers did in the end.

Too bad we don't have an honest press... it would be interesting to know... I was going to guess Soros was behind this... hidden.. but not so hidden it couldn't be discovered.

Akin to giving the native Americans blankets and beads.

You misspelled Gibmedats.

Yes, there are handouts provided - but gospel outreach is everywhere, which unsurprisingly is ignored by the local newsrag but uninformed others here.

My wife is a retired school teacher and about 35 years ago she worked in a small Oklahoma town that believe it or not had no black children, lot of Cherokee, no black.

A missionary preacher and his wife came to town with two black children they had adopted and there was a meet and great that I attended.

Believe it or not when I went to speak to the children the first word out of their mouth was, "What did you bring me?"

Gibmedats. I’ll practice!!!

Helps if you don’t burn down all your business and make the rest decide to leave.

I was joking. I almost wrote - ‘My haircuts are free. Everyone says I overpay.’
