Can this be meme for ___ city? Is it already? Not hip lol
It has been for years now. It's a trump quote.
Yes I am aware it is from a trump quote! Thank you,, sorry, that's why I liked it for a meme because it was stupid when he said it and using it for a city highlights it. I really didn't reply clearly.
What I haven't seen is it be used like this before. But I'm not too hip so maybe I missed it and twisting his quote for using American cities is a meme now?
It's not for cities in particular, just anything involving conservative really.
It's a Donald Trump quote, except the original starts with "when Mexico sends its people".
Thank you for being so helpful! I am aware I suppose I either over explain myself or am completely misunderstood and I do not have the skills to succinctly make my point. Apparently for me it's choose one or the other lol
This is a black site. They took a grandmother to a black site and sexually assaulted her because she had medicine that was prescribed to her.
What the fuck, throw these pigs into general population.
These nazi fucks need to be treated as such.
The summary doesn't cover the entirety of what's wrong here, read the article for full anger and disappointment.
Remember that this is the same city that arrested multiple men and enforced an unconstitutional state sodomy law in 2013 and 2015.
All laws making sodomy illegal in the US were struck down in 2003 by the Supreme Court in Lawrence v. Texas.
2015:
Less than two years after East Baton Rouge Parish sheriff’s deputies gained national attention for enforcing an invalid anti-sodomy law, Baton Rouge police Thursday arrested two men on the same unconstitutional statute.
They’re the bad guys. When one falls, I cheer. At some point citizens will meet violence with violence.
