  10. I BET If He Lived With Those Terrorists For a Week Before This Happened…This Wouldn't Have Happened at All.🤔
    (He Wants to "Admire" those Terrorists… DEPORT Him TO Those Terrorists!)
    Then Wait&See How Long it Takes For Him to Beg to Return.

  11. Why you didn’t show his Mugshot photo, like you do blacks.

  12. Why is that lady pushing people away from entering the Italian shop?!

  13. NEWSMAX RUNS THE TWITTER FILES REPORT DAILY, WHILE NBC CONTINUES TO HIDE, CENSORE AND COVER UP THE TWITTER FILES REPORT WEEK 5

  14. give him the death penalty and wrap his corpse in bacon before burying it as far away from "mecca" as possible. still too good for this waste of humanity.

  15. Go after soccer moms,f.j.b.

  16. Where he wanted to be buried? Dude your body will be thrown off a cliff and fed to the planet. You're not going to be honored like a king.

  17. The religion of peace strikes again

  18. We need more heroes like him.

  19. He’s doing a lot of Time!!!!

  20. Young man risk his life for cause that means nothing to him

  21. Forget to put their picture on the thumbnail. Must be some innocent jogger!

  22. Don’t worry public Hochul won’t fail you he’ll be out in a month on Mental Health Challenge

  23. Do that where we live.. he'd be face up at the medical examiners office…

  24. Isn't that a Gurkha fighting knife?

  25. So he strikes two officers and get shot in the shoulder but let him would’ve looked like me he would’ve be DOA Smh

  26. He got hit in the shoulder bc of his white skin. An Arab or a Black man would've been terminated on the spot. Attacking police with a machete?!

  27. THE ANTICHRIST IS IN CHARGE OF ALL THIS MESS.
