You are on one side or the other. Choose wisely. BTW - I am not in the least concerned with your approval nor censure. Carry on.
You wouldn't know a fascist if he/she came up on you and hit you with a bike lock.

So basically the Nazis didn't show up so ANTIFA decided to take out their aggression on the police, Trump supporters and news reporters.

Well I guess at least they blew off some steam , we should give them a participation trophy .

Joking, of course, I know for a fact, tho, that the 4-500,000 that went to DC against Trump all paid their own way. That's quite impressive....people do care, it's just that they need decent leadership. You know - that thing we don't have.
lmao. let's just round it up to an even million as long as we're making crap up. whaddaya say?

of course you 'know for a fact' that every single one paid their own way

So now they are moving onto more crazy - like saying the police and DC Metro managers are Nazis, and that Nazis are "hiding." (I better look under my bed before I go to sleep tonight. I wouldn't want the Nazi Monster to get me.)
You have to remember, the left, particularly the media, are all about dividing this country, playing identity politics and turning us against one another. Those that don't play into their agenda are labeled racists or bigots, regardless of the real motivations. Those on the left embrace violence and intolerance, rather than rational discussion and working towards solutions.

Ok....


So why is the murder rate lower in those places than in Chicago?

So why doesn't Indiana have a high gun crime rate like Chicago if all the guns in Indiana are the problem?

Got any proof of all these guns being bought at gunshows btw?

So a state with twice the population has actually less crime overall than the other. Interesting.

With the population density of Chicago over Indianapolis, is it a surprise that there's more crime? Aren't more densely populated areas typically higher in crime, because well, more people?

Why is Indiana a higher crime state with less people overall? HALF the population of Illinois, and MORE crime.
