    I dont speak for or support Hamas

    Is that all you've got? The "If you don't support Us you support Them" garbage? Israel has been attacking ambulances and paramedics. Why don't you support hospitals shooter?

    How does it feel putting the security of a country thousands of miles away over your own? The reason the establishment pisses on America, and people like Shooter cheer them on, is because they hate America, or at least what is based on. All they understand is force and they hate things like Constitutions because, if taken seriously, Constitutions can limit and/or expose that force. Warmongers have contempt for the Constitution and uphold the agenda of Bilderbergers, no chains, pure power, and upholding the ability to do whatever you want and set agendas in secret without consequences. Shooter might even be a gun owner, but the people he plays cheerleader for people that hate the second amendment because guns are tangible and not so easily undermined as laws and ideas.

    But just wait, starting in a few months Shooter will be in here whining about how the other team is misusing and abusing his precious force.
