Missouri state rep says person who vandalized Confederate statue should be 'hung from a tall tree'BY REBECCA SAVRANSKY - 08/31/17 07:59 AM EDT
A Missouri state representative said in a Facebook post he hoped the person who vandalized a Confederate statue would be "hung from a tall tree."
State Rep. Warren Love (R) shared an article to Facebook, titled "Vandal throws paint on Confederate statue," according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The article addressed the recent vandalism of a Confederate monument in Springfield National Cemetery.
"This is totally against the law," Love wrote in the post. "I hope they are found & hung from a tall tree with a long rope."

Just another apologist for slavery and treason IMO and named Love to boot.
Oh the irony.

Oh, right. That's more or less the GOP's default position.

(63,216 posts)7. Why is that "America" guy apparently riddled with bullet holes?
And does the swastika not realize that the TSA would grab him at the airport for looking sort of vaguely middle eastern?

(28,270 posts)8. Because they want to riddle American "others" with bullets
is my guess.

(63,216 posts)9. Surely those "others" can't be Real True Americans!
Say it ain't so!
