Peaceful Protesters Stay Away From Florida!
You don't hear a lot about BLM down here,I think they're that smart and know what kind of people that live here.Lots of guns,swamps & air boats,LOL
Three can keep a secret.......if two are Dead !
And, the police handle them. I was surprised at Castor in Tampa. No carrying on there. Walk around with signs all you want, but don't cause any trouble or try to wreck anything.
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a Single Star.
I'm in Crime Hills in Mosquito County. Plenty of cars & Trucks painted with the BLM $hit on the windows. Makes we wish I kept bricks in my car. And there was a number of these peaceful protests near me. I did not see any smoke plumes, but these a$$wipes had no problem blocking traffic. And we have a Demorat candidate for DA that openly boasts that she is a Soros backed DA and what do you think this POS is going to do to you if you defend yourself?
Ah that's one thing about our Flame, doesn't play any favorites! Flame hates everybody!
