That is exactly right!
Marianne Williamson

(111,383 posts)That was the case here when a bunch of neofascists decided to defend a statue and one of them shot a protestor dead.
They're not seeming so friendly any more.
Everything about that case has since disappeared from the news.
The shooter was a wannabe who didn't make the grade.
Too chickenshit for the army, too dumb for the cops.
Cops need a few lessons in why vigilantism is a bad idea no matter what it calls itself.

(3,707 posts)Exactly like movies from 1930's Germany. I honestly never thought it could happen here. Foolish. I can and IS happening here. These are just gangs of thugs, which I'm sure, at least some Germans said about happenings like this. I'm upset enough I'm having trouble typing. I'm upset it happened and I'm upset that I don't have a clue what to do about it. It must not be allowed to continue let alone escalate. How do attacks like this get stopped? This is the worse I've felt since before the election.

(2,698 posts)But I found myself speaking out loud to my computer, and this is what I said: I wish I was there with a f--king metal baseball bat just smashing in some Nazi heads.
If these animals are not confronted and routed out of the gene pool every time they surface, this nation is never going to get rid of Diaper-Donnie's legacy, never. They act, they always act, as if they know not a damned thing will happen to them -- because they know that, in fact, nothing will. They need huge overdoses of their own f--king medicine to make them slither back under the rocks whence they came.
I'm sorry to feel this way. On the other hand, how the f--k else am I supposed to feel?

(4,419 posts)who is in charge of her assault case in Oregon. She has a prior conviction for, I believe, felony child endangerment/neglect. Her PB partner has been charged with domestic abuse. Her son looks like he has fetal alcohol syndrome. Only the very best.

RussellCattle
(1,535 posts)The fact that he was still active military was my real question. The uniform, which he did not wear later when he was CIA director, just illustrates that he was still in the military.
