Where I live it's not MAGA, it's respect. Show up hungry and cold needing help and I'll feed and shelter you. Show up and try to steal my stuff and you'll get a German Shepherd and two broken arms.
There is more to this story as the theft seems like a professional heist with the VW as a throw away. |

Good night. Moderators at least one of these posts is advocating the equivalent of genocide- the deliberate mass killing of a minority group.
Remove this shizzle. I will also report the posts.

?huh?
Which minority would that be? I must have missed that, please point out where I missed it.
Definition of
gen·o·cide
/ˈjenəˌsīd/
Learn to pronounce
noun
the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.
"a campaign of genocide"
I missed that too, please point it out.
Using spin with touchy/loaded words like "genocide" and "minority" is bad form for accuracy and good form for passing things like "Proposition 47: The Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act".... Totally off base unless (van) thieves are an ethic group or a nation... The dude they pulled out of the van was a big white dude.

I expanded the post you quoted.
Re: minority (in the context you seen to use, none of the other definitions are any more accurate)
a relatively small group of people, especially one commonly discriminated against in a community, society, or nation, differing from others in race, religion, language, or political persuasion.
"minority rights"
The addicted is not in that definition of race, religion, language, or political persuasion.
And society does discriminate against those that violate it's rules - speeders, tax cheats, rapists, thieves, drug dealers and users.
I write this as a non-MAGA person.

I see I have hurt some feelings. Lemme see if I can hurt some more...
I am so tired of seeing our great country become what it is- a lawless shithole where hard working people are getting violated day in and day out. Even businesses are closing/relocating because they just can't suffer the losses anymore.
If you come to my house and my 17 year old hound bites you, she's getting put down. Sorry, I feel the same way about the junkies too. 1% of them may want help but by and large they are a drain on society so there are 2, possibly 3 options
mental/rehab institutions whey they have to go and get clean, learn a trade and be a productive member of society, go to jail or just be cleaned off the face of the planet.
Having been thru a rape and murder of a family member you'll never change my mind that some people are disposable, just like the dog that bit you has no second chance.
I'm all for giving people a hand up, not a hand out. You have to stop feeding the strays at some point. If calling me MAGA makes you feel good, so be it. IF me wanting a world where you and your family are safe makes me a bad person, you are just as big a part of the problem
