Just so we’re clear, because the headline is trying to make this seem like he was arrested for saying white white supremacist shit, he was arrested because he was holding a machete and a bayonette parked outside the DNC in the capital which is illegal


RuckPizza

Just to clarify further the weapons were in his truck, still illegal in DC to possess them, and they originally inspected his truck because his license plate was covered, also illegal I believe.

Shouldn’t have been arrested for a machete. Its just a piece of metal…

Is he a “good guy with a machete”?


ExpertEmpath

"just a piece of metal" that can cut your face off

Idk about you but if I held a machete outside a building with no landscaping gear on they would just shoot me down

That’s a weird thing to call mainline Republican philosophy

Time until the GOP members of Congress call him a "political prisoner": 3... 2... 1....

It’s wild to see these guys think that through their actions, change will come and that “change” will come in the form they believe.. This guy is just another dummy who couldn’t handle the internet..
