      If I see a hate group coming for my shit, my people, my property, my fucking anything, you are god damned right I’ll do what I have to do to protect it. If it is me against ten, you are fucking right I’m hitting up the homies for backup. If you are actually being genuine, you are part of the problem

        The uk isn’t like Texas where you get gunned down for trespassing or shoplifting, life and peace is valued over property. Please don’t try and export your capitalist obsession for property over people to the rest of the world.
