11. I fucking hate when people want to shit on the Constitution because they hate Walmart

Wed Nov 27, 2013, 02:05 PM

Nov 2013

This has NOTHING to do with Walmart. It is common fucking sense that you don't have a right to protest on my property. You sure as shit can protest on the sidewalk in front of my house, just as these people can protest on the sidewalks in front of Walmart.

Fuck, sometimes people's hatred for something causes them to lose ALL critical thinking skills.
