Oh, you want to agree with Mayor Arreguin over me? It's a free country.
And no. You're as wrong as you could possibly be to presume to know me well enough to say that I support a violent group. I'm no dupe. I consider it my job to know that when the broken clocks of politics are right twice a day, I still make it my business to know what truths the two right times actually tell. That's the meaning of solidarity. I see we're different that way.
It's easier for both you and the mayor to put down effort than to engage in it yourselves. You ever think that the mayor values order and big business over defense of minorities, law or justice? Most people do, and that's why we find ourselves at this point in this country.
Just my opinion.
