D.B. Hirsch is a political activist, news junkie, and retired ad copy writer and spin doctor. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
Real news. With snark, invective, and lots of links. Guaranteed behaving badly.

“He then compared the police in their riot gear to the enemy abroad. “You’re the same people I went to war with!”
Hmmmmm, I wonder if there are any Marines on the BPD?

Relax… You can be a patriot again. Just go out west, visit the Bundy Ranch, point a loaded rifle at federal officers, and Sean Hannidy will come along in due time and dub thee “Patriot”.

When president Obama and the mayor of Baltimore used the word “thugs”, it was my understanding that they were referring to the people who looted and set buildings on fire. I doubt that this veteran, or any other veteran, engaged in those activities.

He was told to sweeten his language…fuck that noise, people are falling like flies and folks are fed up with it.
So sick of the bullshit and the ignorance and apathy that goes with it.
Sweeten this!
To the Marine, I thank you for your service.

Why the hell should he be asked to change his language? Because he spoke the truth? Riiight, gotcha CNN that’s more “important” than hearing true words spoken any day.
{{{Hey Ramona}}} Where are you now sweet cheeks?

He’s not a thug, if he’s not destroying property or stealing what isn’t his.
