    Deputies say he later told dealership workers he ‘stands with’ the company

    Imagine being so brainwashed you think mowing down fellow Americans to “defend” a corporation is a good act.

      It’s becoming the congealed image of conservatives in America as a whole. Maybe it’s the inbreeding.

    In civilized countries, this would count as terrorism.

          Historically, you will find that there is nothing more civilized than a country built on genocide and slavery.

    What is this about?

    A statement Dutil made to deputies was redacted from the arrest report.

      A Maga cultist decided to try and break up a protest with his cope-wagon. He was going slow enough that it’s not likely to qualify as attempted murder, but it was still fucking crazy. He drive past and yelled at them like a lunatic before he did this.

        Orangeboi will do it anyways and the Tribunal of Six will sign off on it, and that’ll be the new legal precedent until the Supreme Court justices can be… adjusted

    He has a Facebook but his comments are turned off. You can still report him as a credible threat to the public though.
