川普下台了才发生，发生在深蓝州，施暴者大多是猪党挚爱的某族
川普这块砖是不是用得太勤快了点？
川普就别洗白了，这时候护主呢，他都滚了。
民主党州，民主党城市，然后还怪在Trump身上? 现在还是民主党总统治下继续发生，跟中共学到了遗毒的说辞了
是啊，去红脖子州吧，对亚裔最友好了。
简单的道理川粉装作不懂，带头大哥只需要挑拨就行了，下面自然有人动手。 反正头脑简单点的受伤害大一些的就动手了，不管黑白莫。
当然了，川粉头脑也很简单，认为黑墨不喜欢川大大，那么什么都会跟川大大提倡的反着来。 川大大越喊中国病毒，黑墨就越喜欢中国病毒？
是啊，民主党当初推动《排华法案》，加州多少华人受害，然后民主党抱着黑人一起打压各族，华人小孩得为黑人小孩上学让路，华人小店老板得为黑人0元购陪笑脸。就算亚裔，民主党还搞亚裔细分，分化挑起斗争用得纯熟。在民主党城市，黑人和亚裔谁是大爷，谁是奴才？
没事 这个task force不花钱 是志愿的
