Get woke go broke.
Wake up if you're a parent.
What's did you leave to your kids.

Thank a democrat for shoplifting! But you'll vote for it again. WTF!!

[michaeldemarco]

Shorten or eliminate jail time. Lower the standard of crime. Whoever proposes and implements policies like this has no regard for who they govern. California, your government is killing your state.

Here in Spokane wa. The police are putting police substations in Walmarts as our thief is off the hook.

If people are not allowed to protect themselves, then the government needs to do 100% of all the protecting. They can't.

[Chicago]

There needs to be tighter laws and call the thugs domestic terrorists! Simple, solved.

[leslierudd]

Cartel based and organized. Soon they will be running the state.

[herokillerstain]

There's a moral crisis across the country.

[beverlyreiner-baillargeon]

He is 110% correct. The younger generation have no morals. We(1960) grew up being told "even if mom isn't here God is watching you"

[michaelmacdonald]

This is probably why a box of Cheez-Its costs $7.

[oddeman]

[Glen-ftch]

Just 20 years ago the world was a much better place. What happened ?
