29. Sorry, I cannot believe any Democrat would stick up for that rotten government.

FYI:
In the USA there are people doing home invasions. I personally know of one. The perps had black, 'POLICE' shirts , badges, & black weapons.
Sickening that this death/murder is defended by some here. I will stay away from this. It would be nice to see some retraction.
Cults of personality rot into this.
