Strategy 2: It was an ordinary guy who was scared by the leftists.
Strategy 3: ????

Watch carefully for people who take these positions, even close to - ahem - home.

Advice to all Lefties, including Mainline Dems: Get weapons training. These people aim to murder you and your families.

That line. Can you be in the services without being described as 'active duty' or are the four months the sum total of his so-called service.

We just don't kmow why.

Could be he was injured and disabled, could be he was psyched out. I have an asshole Deplorable step nephew who was psyched out after he tried to rape a woman. He was diagnosed with depressin and anxiety and separated in lieu of court martial (with the consent of the victim).

Active duty and it wasn't mentioned? I know, he probably was discharged for being an ass.

I'm glad he's locked up now. I hope the judge denies bail.
