#1 Prof. Reynolds said "Run them down" and the PC police were called out. They surrounded trucks and other vehicles on the interstate and I suspect motorists were in fear for their lives. There were three thugs working over a white guy in a parking garage in Charlotte. He was begging for mercy. His clothes were torn off and he was kicked and punched for being white. Recall when Reginald Denny (white) was dragged from his truck and hit with a brick and beaten nearly to death after the Rodney King incident in LA in 1992.

The PC police are often ensconced in their "safe spaces", gated communities, government offices, political offices, or academic environs and have never been in a riot, mugged, robbed, raped, or jacked. It is easy to criticize those who are in the thick of things for what they might say or do that is deemed inappropriate.

When I saw the guy getting beaten up in the parking garage, my first thought was I'd drop em if able. I am sympathetic towards Reynolds what he said in the spur of the moment and victims who have been terrorized in a riot or a crime. I am sympathetic towards cops who have to deal with this crap every day. I am sympathetic towards my friend who stopped to get gas and was jacked with the kids in the back. BTW, he always goes armed now--everywhere. I have no sympathy for POS like Soros who bankrolls BLM and the ensuing chaos that comes from stirring things up. I have no sympathy for a president who shoots from the lip every time there is some incident which is spun into a racial incident even when it is not without ever knowing the facts.

#2 US mil doctrine is to assault through an ambush. You don't have to necessarily run them down, but stopping is a very bad idea.

#3 University of Tennessee is now investigating Reynolds. This all bears watching. His would be a giant scalp for the left.

#4 Make a good AG in a Trump administration. I'm sure he could secure more than a few scalps in the universities and colleges administrative offices.

#5 I think some folks have been waiting for Professor Reynolds to screw up and if it means misconstruing his obvious intent so be it.
