By driving their big trucks really fast and swerving all over the streets right next to protesters. Stupid young rednecks who think they have permission now to do or say anything they want. I'm happy you are ok and that you got in a few punches. Watch your blood pressure today.

Burns my ass. I am sick of the species. That shit is deep and everywhere. In Florida you could have pumped a hollow point into his eye socket. But if he was a trumper, you would get the death sentence.
Cheered on by Fixed News et al.
So we need not be confused why we are here, and where they come from. AM radio, right wing media and religion put us here. Decades of that crap.
Rusty Limpballs with his presidential award was a driving force. Now we got Bannon, Alex and any ass with a mic and computer. So many of the PAID AGITATORS ($4O million a year for Hannity alone) are all gitty about killing people. Hate hate hate.
Overpopulation drives every species to fight or die, even plants, but they ain’t gotta deal with Fixed News to amp up the hate. Just a few minute's of White Megan Kelly is enough to push someone to get out and kill HER opposition for her.
And they all say God more than me and my fellow sailors said Fuck 7 months at sea. (All male back then)
If only they would guzzle the kool aid and just head into the woods and go meet white Jesus. Maybe the world would get a chance to be Great.
But good on you for smashing his face.
Dangerous, yes, but damn it sometimes you gotta stand up for yourself.
Stay safe Lucky, more to come, we can count on it.

Toxic Masculinity is the new fad for dip-shits. Dominance is a psycho-sexual condition fed by deep-seated inferiority complex. They can’t stand tall, so they try to make others feel small. "Big Me... little you"... that was the law where I grew up.
Sadly, enough females find themselves beholden to this perversity and actually reproduce.
So it goes.
Take Care and Stay Safe.

But we are reaching the end stages of a civil society. Why? Because Mango Mussolini has shown by example that the rules only apply to the weak. That all it takes to do anything you want is to do it. Mango Mussolini said it himself in so many words that he gets to decide for himself what he can and can't do.

Get a gun, get training, practice and be prepared to defend yourself if needed.

are getting more emboldened with every day that passes......I just try to avoid any confrontation with any of them. I especially shy away from drivers that have the big oversized macho pick ups..........(and BMW drivers) The Colorado State Patrol reported that immediately after the election, that the incidence of Road Rage increased remarkably......

But, just in case, I keep one of those hand held sized dry-chem fire extinguishers in reach......Screw tear gas or bear spray, one hard blast in the face with an aerosol dry chem, and it is game over.

I thoroughly believe, after watching the Insurrection on TV, that if the Capitol Police had started "dropping" them as they came through the doors and windows, that the other 5,000 would have taken off running. And if the Capitol Police weren't allowed to use firearms to repel the crowd, they could have rounded up all the dryChem fire extinguishers in the Capitol, stationed them at the windows and doors, and discharged them into the faces of everyone just trying to come in......game over.......

I was anticipating that the "Hang Pence" crowd was going to catch up to Pence and his Secret Service Detail......Those seditionists/ insurrectionists wouldn't have had a chance........The SS doesn't fire warning shots, or shoot to maim.......And if you think the agents are limited to just their side arm, ask yourself.....why are all their sports jackets always unbuttoned????????????

As the MAGA mentality is given more permission to be assholes in public, I think we all can expect more of this shitty behavior. I think it surprises the hell out of them when someone gives a little back.

If and when it is MY turn, I intend to do what I can. I carry a Louisville Slugger.

I don't like what happened.

I don't know why I didn't drive off...could have gotten killed.

I don't road rage...I'm always calm behind the wheel, no matter what. I'm not happy with myself for saying something to those assholes. It's not like me. But then again, I don't like having to put up with nonsense either. What a fucking world we are living in.

Fuck.
