Democratic House candidate Kim Olson: ‘If people loot, so what? Burn it to the ground’
Washington Examiner ^ | June 10, 2020 | Emily Larsen

Posted on 06/10/2020 6:55:40 PM PDT by kevcol

A leading Democratic candidate in a closely watched House race brushed off looting and arson that occurred during nationwide unrest during protests about racism and police brutality sparked by the death of George Floyd.

“What the hell you got snipers on the roof for in a peaceful march? Even if people loot, so what? Burn it to the ground, you know, if that’s what it’s going to take to fix our nation,” retired Air Force Col. Kim Olson said during a live digital event on Tuesday, shown in a clip obtained by the Washington Examiner.

Texas is a blue state. Good Texans don’t know it yet. I hope I am wrong but it does not look good. The left controls the power centers that hold the demographics and rabid liberals like an occupying army. The one’s that are currently flipping the country upside down.

No nonsense???

How about incredibly stupid. (and butt ugly)

The silver lining is that the more destruction the more will have to purchased as in repair and replacements, thereby boosting the economy and getting DJ Trump elected again.

Winning

“Excising this cancer from our Nation will be very, very painful.”

“Yes, but letting it metastasize will be lethal.”

Amen to that. Cauterization is a painful process but it saves lives as in the life of this nation. And that will be accomplished when shots are fired and flesh is cut.

They have gone too far. People’s lives and livelihood are menaced by mob violence and the sanctity of human life has been rendered moot.

"Are "Texans" stupid enough..."

Texans? No.

Estimated that 50% of the Texas population were born else where.

In the Ft Worth/Dallas area, the percentage is greater. They are Carpet Baggers.

Our gov officials brought them in.

But still, factor in the Yellow Dogs.

Based on my research, Kim does not live in TX District 24, not if her primary residence is in Mineral Wells.

Was she in our Air Force? This is hard to believe. It’s like that graduate of West Point who had the commie slogan in his hat. This country isn’t what it used to be and neither is the military.

When the shooting starts, don’t expect the military to side with the citizens.

Here's what they know that we don't know... 1. Being and saying things outrageous IS an intentional tactic. It's how they've been changing the culture for years.

If you get people talking about YOUR strange issue - the human reaction is to assume there are two sides. We give them credibility by reacting to their 'crazy'... That gives them the 'in' to make the changes.

Rather than responding to their antics if we want this to stop we bring up and propose something equally outrageous and get people talking about it. 2. What they did with the military - and with the press - is focus ON ONE PERSON, not all citizens at a time. Study that person, find their weak points and value system then bomb the person with fake letters, flattery, and reinforcements. It's not that hard to do. It was the same technique used to compromised atomic scientists after World War II..

While they're doing that we're trying to appeal to all Americans - powerless or not. Our tactic is insane. We're in a war... and we forgot our uniforms, weapons and strategy. The "people" are with us but it doesn't matter because they're not 'organized'... We need to go after folks just like they do.

This malignant woman wants to represent Texas? If she wins, we know where we are headed - and quickly. It’s a shame too; we made it 145 years without the democrats starting a second civil war.

Arson is a violent crime, and the Rooftop Koreans long ago demonstrated the value of a forceful response to that level of evil. The business I spent so long building is the product of years of my time and effort. Protecting that large a part of my life is more than sufficient moral cause to man the barricades and (at least in Texas) complete legal justification for armed self defense.

You’re sadly delusional. O-6 and above are not the military. She was one of the first group of female pilots, most of whom were incompetent but promoted through the system because of their sponsored status. she didn’t make it past O-6 and in her sheltered group that was not the norm. Colonels and above are largely political animals who get there the same way politicians do. The military does not blindly follow or swear allegiance to any colonel or general, nor do they blindly follow orders.

She looks like General Zod from one of the newer Superman movies.

Aside from that ... “As a combat vet, Colonel Olson knows first hand the human heartbreak of violence” .... gimme an effin’ break. She’s never seen combat. Good Lord. Sadly, people like Lee Johnson believe that crap. Given her timeline, she started in the military with Carter, went thru the buildup and Cold War with Reagan, and then the seemingly never-ending wars and conflicts of Bush 1-Clinton-Bush 2.

And the fact that she hired and took care of South African’s says enough. They’re f*cking clowns with horrible accents.

Funny how that coincides with the massive influx of locusts, I mean transplants.

The last “graph” of the Examiner story is very interesting:

Her military career is a highlight of her resume — she was one of the first women to attend and graduate from military flight school — but it is also a potential liability. In the early 2000s, when she was stationed in Iraq, the Pentagon accused Olson of directing contracts to a private security firm that she helped operate. While Olson denies personally profiting from the arrangement, she pleaded guilty to charges that included creating the appearance of a conflict of interest, paid a $3,500 fine, and was permitted to retire with an honorable discharge. That history has not been a major issue in her campaigns or line of attack from her opponents.


If her corruption in the armed forces has not yet been an issue, it will be if she wins the ‘Rat nomination. Why isn’t she in prison like Randy “Duke” Cunningham was?

Hopefully Texans wont get all gooey because they see the word “veteran”, and think that just means this person must make some sense or something.

Why is she bothering to run? She obviously doesn’t give a rats ass. Scum.

The military seems chockablock with officers that are communists; or worse.

Yes, this started during Kintoon Time and now has been around for close to 30 years. The termites are well distributed to chew away the supports of the US.
