If that’s what’s called for, that’s what’s called for.
This is war. We are at war. And that’s why the gloves are off and I say, bring it on.
I don’t want anyone who worked so hard, who put their heart and soul into their business to be subjected to something for a bureaucratic screwup with real life consequences.
I’m going to stand up for them. Will find a path forward. Don’t worry.
Why do we even allow these weapons of mass destruction to be sold anywhere in America? Other countries have completely banned them.
It’s pathetic and especially in the time when we’re a city that’s in mourning, to be taking cheap shots and trying to infer that he had something to do with this.
