To be ruthlessly fair, the subject of the moment was that black guy who set fire to his own church and tried to hoax it on Trump. Don’t ever make me do this again. ---

Some of those are padding, stretching it, but still more than I thought. I’m guessing the reason would be that they are so obscure and minor that I never even heard about them. You, on the other hand, knew about _all_ of them. But then, of course you do. But what the hell, points. ---

What makes them “anti-trump protesters” again? I know it wasn’t just because they were shouting shit about trump while torturing someone. Anybody call for a cite yet? Sorry if I missed it here. ---

I wouldn’t have a problem believing there are hundreds of Americans stupid enough to try to blame Trump for their own misbehavior. After all, _millions_ of Americans were stupid enough to vote for him. ---

He wants her dead. He purposefully hits her with his car and now she’s dead. So let’s start here. Call the above example A. Now example B is exactly the same but the perpetrator also hates black people and your daughter is black. So Example A - he hates her and wished her harm but no racial motive, Example B has an additional racial motive. Which should attract a larger sentence and why? ---

The thought behind should be irrelevant according to him, even if it were apparently thoughtless (aka accidental). ---
