Trump doing crazy:

  • Church Photo Op

  • Law Enforcement has no duty to protect you, only the public at large.

Terrorism

  • Definition from FBI:
  • “Domestic terrorism is the unlawful use, or threatened use, of force or violence by a group or individual based and operating entirely within the United States or Puerto Rico without foreign direction committed against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof in furtherance of political or social objectives.”

One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter…

Is there a time when you would riot?  Commit “terrorism”?

Scary and interesting times we live in.
