  1. getting to the point where I just don’t care anymore if these feral animals want to kill each other … whichever way they desire

    one either stands up on one’s haunches & fights back, or lays on one’s back & accept the situation …. in other words, one gets the government one deserves … ‘Choice’ is such a bitch!

    …. just don’t care anymore if they (continue to) choose to eliminate themselves

  2. “getting to the point where I just don’t care anymore if these feral animals want to kill each other … whichever way they desire”

    The more they kill themselves, the less we will eventually be required to kill. Same goes with Planned Parent in the HOOD. My “WHITE” family comes first to me and I didn’t start this war. The Democrats did.

  3. I guess this feeling comes from an earlier spiritual awakening here, but all I feel is overwhelming sadness.
    It’s all so pointless and savage.

    Mean and snarky PHenry will be back tomorrow. But for tonight I only wish comfort to the families of the victims.

    Something major has to change. This is madness. Just awful.

    I never paid attention to pre-retreat show. Do the UN “peace keepers” prop up the local thieving warlords, or try to run off the local thieving warlords. I hear the Democrats are cash strapped after being bailed out by Clan Clinton (Hey, Haiti! How you bin?). And there’s (always) an election coming up.

  5. Some feel good from the CC guy who dropped the armed thug who robbed him.

    Other than that, the death toll is appalling, If the city government can’t get this under control, then the state needs to get involved.

  6. And Rahm Emmanuel just keeps on keeping on because he bears no responsibility whatsoever …. …!

    And the Media believe they have credibility. Any credibility.
    This is not worth reporting on? Because we all know, BLM, and Trump is a rich guy.
    Oh, and Russia.
