      This is the kind of information, that the “Law and Order “ folks need to be reminded of on the regular…

      Or is it we need to follow the law, but they are being unfairly targeted???

        Unfortunately we don’t share a common language anymore. The people fighting for “law and order” don’t actually mean, that everyone has to follow the same law. For them it’s a tool to police minorities and political opponents. In other words fascism.

          They want to use the law to order you to bow down to them. It’s that simple.

        Those traitor cunts don’t give a shit. The only way to deal with them is to marginalize them.

        Time for the Frank Wilhoit quote:

        Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition … There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

        No, not all of them. Some have never been caught.
