Stopped by a local breakfast joint

Sat down next to a table with a couple guys. Just trying to eat my breakfast when a third comes in. Sits right behind me and immediately goes off. First comment was "where were the liberals marching when the Immigrant Muslims shot up San Berdo and Miami? (Same state, close enough) One guy at least corrected him and said both of those cases were home grown shooters. Without missing a beat the guys says, well those people can just drive from Northern Africa into Italy and then travel around the EU without a passport and create terror. I turned and glared at another guy, who just changed the subject to the LA Olympic bid.

I just missed the 84 Olympics, would be cool to have. The locals are trying to distance themselves from Trump. Tough job.

Like they didn't cover it when we marched against Bush and the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
