Trump is using crime as a pretext for military occupations of cities as part of his plot to become a dictator. Which means we ought to be talking less about crime and more about his plot to become a dictator.

You have 76.6K followers, and you constantly say things that invite negative feedback, most likely because you like attention. That doesn't equate to 'an abuse problem that's destroying the user base', but you know that, you're just trying to garner attention. Well done. Whining works. Congrats!

“Here’s a guy who held a top secret clearance and was privy to some of the most sensitive information we have, who served in a combat zone,” said Koop, a retired colonel who trained the Afghan military and police during Mavalwalla’s deployment. “To see him treated like this really sticks in my craw”

These are the coolest things! Friends send them home with me in a road trip care package (which was full of delicious sandwiches and other snacks).

I expect a lot of people who wind up joining Nazi groups do so because they're already vulnerable, isolated, and susceptible to the gaslighting of those movements who give them something to belong to and someone to blame. Those groups need to be made unattractive again and those affiliations unsafe.

I admire your empathy, and I agree with you, I just don't have the patience anymore, I've only got enough left in the tank to bully them into the street and make it clear they're not wanted, and to make the people sitting quietly by realize they can take a stand and bully trash out of the community.

Years ago you'd see Nazi punks downtown, and they'd mostly be left alone. These days it's not just punks, it's fuckers in khakis and polo shirts. If there's anyone wearing the ink, flying the colors, or spouting the bullshit, they need to be run to the edge of town and off a cliff. Zero tolerance.
