  1. THE NIGGER COMMUNISTS ARE “CHIMPING OUT”…. HI GEORGE SOROS!!!!! HOWS LARRY SILVERSTEIN,HENRY AND BIBI????

  2. “According to our partners at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the wound was in the neck.”

    A few inches higher, and we’d all have something to celebrate.

    The injuries from shootings are far outnumbering the fatalities.

      That’s unfortunate but unsurprising. The lethality of firearms (especially handguns and FMJ rifle rounds) is highly overrated. Shots to the brain or upper spinal cord are very desirable for a quick kill. There are documented cases of individuals taking multiple rounds of 9mm and .45 ACP to the chest and surviving. Even with the heart destroyed, it’s possible to continue fighting for as much as ten seconds longer — very dangerous at close range.

      Ah, but we still have much to celebrate. FIVE pigs, and possibly more, will no longer be kidnapping people for victimless crimes, beating people down out of spite or for fun, planting evidence, lying in court, or covering up for the crimes of other pigs. (I know some believe the Dallas incident was staged, but I’m not convinced.)

      The f–king pigs continue to stubbornly refuse to acknowledge their responsibility for these killings. They’re like Jewish Zionists — they believe that the members of their tribe can simply do no wrong, so they become drama queens when someone gives them a little payback.

        It was staged alright. The only real question is… did pigs really die or not.

        Not enough evidence either way yet, imo.
