When’s the protest at Pete Knights office?
yeah that’s what I thought..
Tim Scott says
Two obvious questions.
First, WTF are you talking about? In your fevered imagination how does this shooting connect to the federal government?
Second, what point is there to protesting at Pete Knight’s office? He is going to do whatever he is told by the national party, and if they aren’t specifically telling him what to do he is going to shut up and disappear into the congressional fund raising phone bank. Protesting outside his office just supports the pretense that he pays any attention at all to the people he is “representing.”

Pete Knight passed away in 2004… good luck getting to his office.
Tim Scott says
Good point…that was Steve Knight, current congressman and disgrace to his father.
Roberto says
Tim, excuse me I get the two confused and forget which one is riding the others shirt tails. I figured they we’re protesting at Steve’s office after the Highland High shooting so why not this shooting? Figured no one protested because this shooting is black male shoots black male and nobody cares. I know I don’t.
David Davis says
I have been hearing rumors that the AGK gang has been randomly killing coloured males because of their race. Three were killed this is the fourth. It’s a race killing but it won’t be identified as one.
David Davis says
The AGK gang has been writing the word “Risky” all over Palmdale to warn coured males that they are coming for them. That’s what I heard on the streets from my biker friends.
Tim Scott says
Biker friends? What, being recognized as a bigot wasn’t enough for you so now you are claiming ‘biker friends’? Sad.
FRED says
THE ARTICLE CLEARLY STATES THE SHOOTER IS BLACK DOH.
