Democrat here. If the man went in there with the intent to terrorize anyone, then he committed an act of domestic terrorism. I hope he gets charged appropriately. This kind of thing isn't acceptable from either side, and it needs to stop.
ReplyDeleteThe democrat party used to be though of as the party of acceptance and tolerance who has taken over the party ideology?
ReplyDeleteThe democrats were never the party of tolerance and acceptance. You are mistaken. In the 60's they were the party of the KKK and in the 70's were taken over by the so called peace loving hippies that bombed police stations. Which has led us to today where they now hate all the people with common sense that don't want all this gay pride and civil rights crap shoved down our throats. If you want love and tollerance you should be in church on Sunday and not voting democrat.
