Donald Trump spoke to the crowd of old white people at the NRA convention. After doing his usual hyperbolic trashing of Joe Biden and the Democrats, he got into the matter of crime and came out with this doozy:

As an example, when you see these gangs of hundreds of young, usually young people go and attack an apartment store - department stores in San Francisco and Los Angeles and Chicago, and they run in by the hundreds and they’re running out carrying refrigerators and carrying air conditioners and big stuff. Big, little, everything. Fur coats, not fur coats, everything they’re carrying. They empty out the stores.

I bet those young hoodlums aren't even carrying those fridges under their coats like we did back in the day. They're just carrying them out on their shoulders. A fridge on one shoulder and an air conditioner on the other.

But TFG was not done there. He had to go on and blame the left for scaring the cops from doing their jobs:

And we, our police are incredible, but they’re not allowed to do their job. They want to do their job so badly. They’re standing there, they’re shaking. They want to do their job. It’d be so easy to do, but they’re not allowed to do their job because of these radical lunatics, who think they’re doing the right thing.

I don’t even think they do think they’re doing the right thing. The politically incorrect truth that no one on the left wants to admit is that violent crime is rarely committed by illegal gun owners. It is committed by a brutal class of hardened repeat criminals. That’s who’s doing it. In San Francisco.

It sure does sound like The Hair Furor thinks it's the police's job to just shoot people. Especially if they're Black. Or LGBTQ. Or just different in any way.
