“Welcome to the party Pal!” Bruce Willis, DIE hard.
Now that’s some DEI
Wait, MPD had a zero tolerance policy in place against vandalism assuring business owners and residents of their due diligence? And it still occurs, not once, but a series of all night criminal hijinks . No confidence in the MPD.
Demographics are destiny
Funny how they rely on the same cops they diss and defund to protect them.
Democrats got what they wanted all the rest of us to deal with. Well done stupids!
WHO were the so-called protesters (what a joke–protesters!)? No mention of that detail in the article. Wonder why? DUH!
As “VITI” said…join the party D.C. stoooopids.
Let’s just say they are bus loads of gifts from Governor Abbott and DeSantis.
We love illegal immigrants, just not here.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
suck it DC…..nothing but a bunch of swamp-dwelling leftist progs
Ya’ll got what you been begging for. Keep voting “Dem Democrats” in. You’re just about to the “Finish Line” . After they rob and destroy and get all the “Free Shit”, — ” they’ll start eating your cats, dogs & kids” Good luck, Morons!
D.C. = district of criminals
Well, please identify them. So the police detained or arrested them. So what? What will happen next? Anything of consequence? Well, it depends. Were they MAGA? Orthodox Jews? Fundamental Christians?
Thank you Governor Abbott and DeSantis for blessing the DC elites with bus loads of their Karma, we know that’s who they are.
Upset at the cops? Break into a store that had nothing to do with it. Genius.
