Welcome to America, land of self righteous indignation and holier than thou attitudes about anyone who has ever done anything just the slightest bit wrong. And, since minorities are disproportionately jailed in this country, it helps keep those pesky minorities out of the voting booth where they might decide to vote Democrat.
Good luck to everyone in VA on the 19th, when the gun-totin' god-fearin' wacko wing nuts who are hiding their racism behind some non-existent threat to the 2nd Amendment strap their penises, I mean guns, to their belts and proceed to scare the crap out of everyone else. I really appreciate the fuck out of my tax dollars being wasted by the feds having to keep an eye on these ignorant asshats.
