Another day in America. Can you smell that Second Amendment freedom.
Is that anything like the smell of Napalm in the morning?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALi78xSaP0YSeems a guy walked into a motorcycle shop and started firing. It’s a standoff, possibly with hostages. Wasn’t there a bit of a dust-up involving motorcycle enthusiasts a while back? And Islam really didn’t play much of a role in the situation? It was more American knuckleheads, many or most armed and drunk? Did I remember that correctly, or does that kind of thing even happen?
Nah, never happens. Only Syrian refugee children are dangerous.
Thanks. Reassuring to know Real Americans hardly ever get shooty like those crazy muzzies.
