Minneapolis: Somali Muslim Police Officer Shoots White Woman in Cold Blood...
*and the libtards are silent.* I don't have the will or the time for an extended rant, but I can't help noticing that my libtard bellwethers in Minnesota, who proudly proclaim their sadness over the Philando Castile shooting by a police officer, have not one damn thing to say about a Somali blasting away a white woman who called the police for help. They call the police shooting of Castile a travesty of justice after a jury of 12 of their neighbors acquitted the police officer of all charges, and yet are curiously silent about the murder of Justine Damond.

Ain't Nothing But a Hypocritical Hound Dog
Although Trumpism and human rights are obviously mutually contradictory, it still came as a huge shock in official circles when Secretary of State Rex Tillerson broke precedent and coldly refused to trumpet his agency's annual report on global human rights abuses. And to add insult to injury, he's even reportedly planning to close down State's War Crimes division. How very oily of him. Not that the United States has ever actually looked in the mirror and condemned its own abuses and war crimes, which include but aren't limited to capital punishment, solitary confinement and the sh... more »
