Trump Effect: Racist white woman pulls gun on peaceful black couple.

I will continue to post these types of stories tagged under my Trump Effect moniker. You know why? Too many people believe complaints by people of color about undue mistreatment outside their purvue is either not understood, nor do they acknowledge the severity.



Too many incidents like these do not end well. And then the jury generally accepts the perpetrator's excuse of fear more often than not. Just recently, a black young man likely came inches away from being murdered by what appeared to be a police officer inching for a kill. The young man had both hands out the Windows for the cop to see. The officer then told him to put the car in park at the same time he is saying the young man had a gun for the recorder.

Emboldened gun owners thinking they're Dirty Harry.

Disgusting.

Thanks Trump, and all y'all

Apparently that happened last year. For decades you could just show up and grill. Don't swim though. Seriously don't swim in that lake. It's disgusting.
