Idk I’ve lived here for nearly 30 years and it’s absolutely news to me that promoting violence is unamerican. Especially in a small town. Motherfuckers in small towns will brag about couch guns while daring the president to come to town. Small town motherfuckers will use gallows as a decoration. These people’s issues with blm protests in a small town isn’t violence it’s black people.

Also they never minded when the ones being rounded up were the gays or the Japanese or native Americans or Latines. But sure you fucking hicks need to be afraid. Fuck off and arm a synagogue instead.

For the love of God please just say latinos. You don't need to police our language.

Latines is better than Latinx which is a monstrous perversion, but spanish is just fine the way it is.

Small town men are always the cliche bad guy in every movie/tv show for a reason

"violence" is when I'm not in absolute comfort - not when I shoot people, that's my right.
