I was just reading a thread here about the toxicity of new green gas they are firing on protestors. I guess in a way we are now gassing our own people. This is not really about arresting illegal immigrants anymore, seems to be an all out war on America.

These aren’t “soldiers” or “servicemen” — they’re criminal thugs with zero training and zero credibility.

DEFUND THIS ILLEGAL GOON SQUAD.
