15. Occam's Razor.

Fri Jun 3, 2016, 10:10 PM

Jun 2016

When I think about which is more probable:

a) a false-flag operation by a blustering oaf who has all the subtlety of a farting hippopotamus, or;

b) a mob (and like it or not, that's what it was) of pissed off young men got violent on their own

I'm going with b.

I hate Trump. I hate his racism. I think every non-white-male ought to hate his guts with white-hot intensity. But I also think the anti-Trump demonstrators messed up in a big way when they decided to get violent.
