Countdown to: "It was ANTIFA!" "IT WAS THE FBI!" "IT WAS A LIBERAL PRETENDING TO BE MAGA!"

I'm so tired of these maga cowards with anger disorders who think they can just do whatever they want then blame everyone else for their insanity.

How to go from a normal day to the day you became a felon in 2 seconds.

Just trying to become more like his patron saint

And another piece of empirical evidence for permanent absentee ballot voting.

Revoke his right to vote, effective immediately.

You don’t have to do that. Just charge him with a felony. Texas I’m sure has laws disenfranchising felons, and if they don’t then they’re losing to Florida.

Maybe Jesse Lutzenberger of San Antonio Texas could get fucked.

I somehow think that he got away lightly. I am not being punitive but I can’t imagine it going this well for someone else. At least give him 24 hours in county jail.

He hasn’t been found guilty yet, they just booked him. He’s facing felony charges although who knows how that will all play out.

Sounds like the guy has a few bruises but is otherwise ok. Things are bad when I'm wondering if police will be hanging around voting areas this election to try to prevent this sort of thing. Are they even allowed?

Police aren't exactly the calming influence they ^^never used to be.

Perhaps some biker gangs or wild hippos instead?

Enforcing laws against terrorism would probably stop most of it.

Just in case anybody feels like giving that a go.
