This was in MY NEIGHBORHOOD last Christmas. Columbus, OH (Clintonville)

This is a national problem. Time to ban those AR, AK, and M-16s. When is enough enough?



These proud boys came from up to 500 miles away to stop a local church from having
a Christmas party for little children that had some drag queens reading CHRISTMAS STORIES
to the children.

I have a good friend who works at that church and she had to put up with those shits.

Here are the Proud Boys' friends the Patriot Front who were there too.

Though I've no idea what's to be done.

Strains from a piece in Les Miserables have been on repeat in my head for the past week or so...

"Look down and show some mercy if you can
Look down, look down, upon your fellow man
When's it gonna end?
When we gonna live?
Something's gotta happen now or
Something's gonna give"

A beautiful part of Columbus with fantastic people. How dare those haters sully it! MY SIL grew up on Indianola Ave.

She sends me all kinds of good progressive literature after she’s read it.

a few dozen rounds when they heard of the birth of Christ. And the three wise men brought AKs, ARs and boxes of ammo as gifts for the Prince of Peace.

And little Linus took the stage under a spotlight to repeat this story to Charlie Brown when he was asking about the meaning of Christmas.

I am going to guess this was the local UU church who had this scheduled?

I know there is one right there in the middle of Clintonville and this sounds a lot like them.
