But now I don't know...

"My death wasn't natural, an accident, or an unfortunate coincidence. It was an assassin or assassins sent by the COUNCIL FOR NATIONAL POLICY."

Just something to think about now as I'm working or going out about my daily routine and that's the day I become a statistic because we apparently need the FREEDOM to give every crackpot, white supremacist, domestic abuser, incel, and teenage boy with parents who think guns count as therapy as many guns as they want and can sling them wherever and whenever they want.

Police protocol with an open carry of an assault weapon should be to assume the worse and take them down immediately.

Open carry is currently legal in many states, the solution is to work to make it illegal. But even then, police shouldn’t ever use deadly force unless absolutely necessary.

Trump being shunned by the media, that I posted here just before this one. No idea what happened to this tweet, but I'm very glad I copied the text, and I will post a screenshot if I can find one on Twitter. And any newer version if Tiedrich deleted it to post a revision.
