attacking that guy that took down the guy giving threats.

I keep saying democrsts need to be clear and openly tough on crime and immigration. It doesn't mean supporting the same shit as Republicans but one reason Bill Clinton , Obama, and Biden won are they were able to get out of the negative perception right wingers throw out towards democrsts.

It also doesn't help that anyone can now get online and say stupid shit and the right wing will take the most bizarre shit and spread it around as the position of Democrats.

And I think the response by the mayor was pretty weak .
