Isn’t it interesting that all of the closeted Boogaloo Boys/Patriot Prayer/Proud Boys sympathizers aren’t posting their usual “plague” posts with this one? Riddle me that.

You are right on with that pastor. The racist nonsense on here is its own plague. Glad they caught this guy though. There should be no tolerance for actions that put our children at risk. Hope that young person is doing well.

They should show his face and release his identity. I’m sure this isn’t his first time…

Pastor LibTard,
This is consistent with all crime data. Blacks dont commit all the crimes. Just most if them. Theres a few bad ones on the other teams. Just not the majority like on the Plague Team. Pay attention! You will catch on. LOL

You seriously need to lay off the Mountain Dew and go get some fresh air… Your constant references to “all crime data” is at best just outdated hatemongering. What you seem to be alluding to is the fact that black & brown people are more likely to be arrested in this country for the same crimes committed by their white neighbors; this doesn’t mean they commit more crimes, it means they’re incriminated more. Wake up and read between the lines; the glare from your red neck is skewing your view.
