Marshall Law, does kind of a pop-rockabilly thing, had a hit back in the 80's?

I had a lot of debates like that over Baltimore, where at least the rioters were mainly black. Riots are not desirable; even Jello Biafra agrees. Though the Nazi getting coldcocked, that wasn't horrible.

Yeah, his pouty face was the piece de resistance

Nazis and fascists don't respond to reason, their language is violence. I'm a non-violent type, but I can't tell the guy who did that he was wrong. Breaking windows, some of the other physical violence I can't get behind, but a Nazi getting punched in the face is about as sympathetic as a guy in bar getting his ass kicked for talking shit about somebody's date.

My grandfather killed a bunch of them while on a convoy from Southern Italy to France. He said they used them as target practice, which I'm sure today would be considered a war crime (but what the fuck, they're Nazis and they don't deserve any less, am I right?) We don't know how many he killed (he never said) but I do remember some of his Army buddies telling my mom he was a badass.

If you're not strong enough nobody is. You are a bad ass, at least from my perspective here on the internet.

There's a guy at my work whose name is Bob Marshall. We call him Marshall Bob. No hits in the 80s though as far as I know.

You couldn't be more right. I thought they had been marginalized because, frankly, they suck. Turns out I was wrong.

The Maytag Repairman has a tougher job than the guy who has to update that.

It's an odd thing, that thing about not all small towns. I was born in a suburb of Kansas city Missouri in 1970, and I grew up with a mom who somehow sheilded me from these ultra racist small town views. Turns out in her old age, she's succumbed to them. Just like my dad always had and still does. So I guess what I'm saying is things are complicated.

Oh. So maybe she feels left out, and it's her way of getting your sister's attention. Through you. :)

I hate to be a party pooper, but I did some self-investigating this. This video must be while they were setting up. I just watched an hour and a fucking half of the "Presidential" limo creeping along the parade route. The guys in neon yellow weren't there. There were tons of cops and SS and military of some sort. The stands were mostly full. Not a writhing mass of enthusiastic humanity like at Obam's parades, but certainly not empty. On a positive note, there were also quite a few protesters with signs amongst the onlookers. https://www.youtube.com/wat...
