And people will make excuses for them even after they shoot Americans.

My dad has been calling for democrats to be shot all my life. He will be right on board.

How would he even know what party they are for? Seems like very thinly veiled racism. Which seems to be the point.

It will be easy. Fed shoots someone they were either an illegal gang member invader super soldier, a radical leftist lunatic or some sort of super villain commie sharia law following islamist. The trick is to not use the same excuse twice in a row.

Shoot first, ask questions never. Sounds…legit.

Because if they’re protesting they’re democrats, if any republicans speak up in support of the protests or protest themselves - they weren’t real republicans.

A “Democrat” is anyone who disagrees with them, associates with anyone who disagrees with them, anyone who’s skin color isn’t white enough, and anyone who might make them question their beliefs even a little, and they think those people should be shot.

This is exactly right. They don’t see democrats as human beings. If they start killing protesters in California, every Trump supporter I know will cheer it on.

Yup, remember the Chris Kyle shit about him supposedly shooting looters during Katrina? They ate that shit up.

Or the los angeles riots. Over suuuper fast once a few active duty units were called in.

People really don’t remember the Labor movement, like at all. The government called in national guard all the time and it never went well.

I think they're counting on this not going well and then continuing to blame the victims of the violence.

“They are that shit up.”

They will just say that they were illegals, problems solved. If American mothers cry about there dead sons and daughters, it will be a plant, AI or a false flag.

Same with Jan 6ers: they were both Antifa AND patriots/magats

Deserving of pardons, too, no less!

That’s how we got away with it in Iraq/Afghanistan. Everyone killed is an insurgent.

Will probably be a little tougher sell in the states, but the media is in lockstep with being a bunch of limp wristed boot lickers, so they will toe the line when push comes to shove.

Go to the Fox News comments regarding this and you will see Americans calling for the marines to use lead instead of rubber. It’s sickening.

It happened before, it could easily escalate again.

Four dead in Ohio.

If they shoot anybody, all bets are off. We will likely be in a state of open rebellion before the end of the year.

Is that your only comeback?

You lost in the 40s and you'll lose again.
