Lol, all that for a fat slob on a moped.

If they are not all fined for violating the covid restrictions, places of worship should open 100% and sue the governor if she tries to punish them.

Too early to know who’s at fault. BLM is jumping to conclusions before the facts are in. They are pushing their fake racial narrative once again.

But you know...”bAcK tHe BlUe” 🙄

Just an excuse to create chaos. So the dude was speeding away from cops and made a sharp turn? How about pulling over? Naaaah. This has nothing to do with race. The left a violent mob.

Democrats are a violent mob. Vote Trump 2020!
