The unit was accused of killing protestors.
So... plenty of suspects.

Trump said they had missed a second target located elsewhere when they hit Soli. Wonder if this was it. Also wouldn’t be surprised if that’s a complete dumb suggestion based on some factoid I’m not aware of :-)

Let’s spread the story he has eating a ham sandwich and was killed by a pimp at a gay house of prostitution.
His last words “With a face like mine I gotta pay for sex.”

Go with it. I’m too much of a refined gentleman to volunteer such things. Still you have a good idea.

I can only hope. I used to know an Iranian-American who owned a bowshop in Arlington, TX. He hated islam and mullahs and....

Very decent feller. We drank beer and ate wild hog chops behind the shop during their customer appreciation days before each Christmas back in the early 2000’s. It was called Red Sand Archery on Cooper next to the Redwing Shoe place.
