"@M0CK17 @fleshsimulator Depends on whether he was violent harassing people damaging/stealing property or attempting to damage/steal property. If he was just peacefully passed out on park benches then no that would not require a firing squad"

"@gooberbite @HandyGingerGal I'm not. I think most of MAGA would cheer if a bunch of people dressed in ANTIFA shirts were executed by firing squad on live television. They wouldn't need any verification beyond Trump's word. MAGA has broken its stated principles time and again when Trump told them to"
