    Seriously, what is wrong with you?

    You know anything Candace Owens says is not true.

    Trumpists would approve except for the fact that the victim appears to be white.

    And then in the report say he tripped and fell, which is what they put in the report

    If the armed robbery thing is made-up bullshit, then it obviously invalidates my whole point about CNN not giving the full story, and I retract what I wrote. My original source was the Guardian, which cited court documents. The AJC article was written a few days later and uses some of the same phrasing, so it may have been relying on the Guardian article . The Guardian seems pretty reputable - are you sure it's made up bullshit?

    If Candace Owens said it, it's not true. She's full of shit. Everyone knows that. If she had any self-respect, she'd be liberal.

    He was arrested for passing a counterfeit $20 bill and lost his life because of it. That's what happened.

    Whether or not he tore a tag off a mattress or something like that doesn't matter.

    What's wrong with you?

    What do you mean, I'm lying? I attached a link from a source that I think is reputable. If it's wrong, then I retract my earlier comments. But the fact that it was also said by someone whose name I don't recognize (but who I'm willing to assume lies a lot) isn't proof that it's wrong or that it's right.

    Another protest here in Flyoverville. A couple hundred people gathered on the busiest intersection in town. Some nearby businesses closed early - just in case. The local PD paid two snowcone trucks to show up and serve. It was a big hit. Everybody left with a sugar high.

    I put this up a couple of pages back. It's Beau on how to solve police excess. He steps right on out there with a plan.
