Nathan Pelham got into a standoff with law enforcement this year after he learned he was being charged in connection with the Capitol attack.

    I really enjoyed this little tidbit “Pelham paced outside, holding a gun and yelling at police. He eventually went back inside and fired the gun several times. For their own safety, police left the property that night, and let Pelham sleep off his drinking.” He shoots at police and they “let him sleep it off”, any POC would be dead as a doornail if they so much as thought of the word gun in the presence of cops. But a white male insurrectionist can just sleep it off. This country is truly fucked.

      They completely destroyed someone’s house with a tank ram when a shoplifter ran inside to hide unarmed.

        Can’t let anyone get uppity and let others think they can steal a little from Big Business. If they get away with that it will be chaos and the end of the world. That deserves instant, swift, and harsh punishment.

        This dude just help threaten national stability of the country, that’s all. And those cops didn’t want to wear masks anyway.

      There was that shooter in Maine(?) who [over a six month period] got reported to the local police by his family, his friends and his co-workers. The cops went to his place once, he refused to talk with them, and they just shrugged and walked away.

      If the mob were really progressives or antifa, they’d have a machine gun nest firing into the crowd before they ever stepped on the stairs. And that’s not saying POC. Just progressives as a whole.
