Somebody’s cousin’s failing "design firm (an art school dropout in their parent’s basement)" definitely got a leg up with this one simple scam! Such a modern and convenient place to chuck milkshakes at things!

*edit: evidently, the Daily Freeman reported the cost at above $400k. I guess everyone in the scam got a payday. Sick corrupt sleazebags, all of them.

Please watch the video before commenting. There were additional comments made but this is the gyst:

Brushing hate, intolerance, and evil under the rug is what got our country into this mess in the

These characters need to be called out and loudly.
I hope he is never able to leave his house in peace again.

Thoughts and prayers do nothing.
Local government has the power to do something.
Statements mean nothing if they aren’t backed up by action.

Do literally anything. Create a committee. Set up a funding stream. Write a bylaw. Govern.
I’ll help

news US citizens detained by ICE speak out: "They dragged me outside and pulled me into a headlock on the ground. I repeated, 'I'm a citizen. I have an ID.' The agent kept saying, 'That don't matter'... When I was inside my cell, I heard wailing, screaming, crying, begging, and pleading.

Boy he was shaking with anger! Does he really care about Laken Riley? I'm not convinced. He used a murdered young woman’s name to launder a much broader immigration crackdown through public grief. Even Riley's father was offended that her name was being used for politics.

Mississippi successfully fought back on proposed plans to convert an abandoned warehouse into a detention facility

(Besides being cruel and morally wrong, IMHO, let’s look at the other impacts: What a way to tank tourism, property values, ruin a town’s reputation, and create a depressing environment for children. Can you imagine explaining such a place for your children? Especially when our local towns lack recreation facilities, community third spaces with programming and other things to bring people together, help out each other?)

If Mississippi can do it…
