If I ever saw one side slandering the other political side and felt it was putting our country at risk of conflict based on immutable charecteristics is the day I would join the opposing party and speak up for those Americans. As a declared enemy of the state, let it be known I do not know of any white supremacists. I stand for what is moral and good for our country.

Notice how the democrats are real careful not to mention Waukesha, or NYC subway cars, and station platforms.

I think it's fantastic that they are starting to use the meta phone data and going after the BhallotThaffickers in Arizona. Prison time! I hope they all get cute boyfriends and girlfriends

I believe the Police and other law enforcement agencies think that if the Police or other law enforcement agencies do not like us or judge us based on hearsay that that is why we state bad things about the Police or other law enforcement agencies. I can actually accept a Police Officer or any other law enforcement feeling a certain way about me. What I will not accept is an unlawful and illegal action because of those feelings. Those feelings can be the Police and the other law enforcement agencies rights. I would not ever want to take that right away from them. Do not cause me harm, try to hurt me, or kill me, or my loved ones based on hearsay from Friends, Families, and Colleagues. Those Friends, Families, and Colleagues can have the same hateful feelings about me as well. Check your actions. That is all that matters to me. The illegal actions and disinformation that the Police and other law enforcement agencies can hurt me or kill me without cause is not true at all. I will fight for the only life I have. My life is important to me. These terror and domestic issues are very serious. If we have Polices and other law enforcement agencies going in with a predetermined outcome based on hearsay in something as serious as a terror or domestic matter, lives can be lost within seconds.
