After the Newark riots in 1967, the NJ legislature passed a law making the mere possession of a Molotov cocktail punishable with 40 – yes, 40 – years in prison.

Wonder what the law is in MO. It’s arson minimally.

This is the quickie version of burning a cross on someone’s lawn.
It didn’t ignite so maybe some fingerprints?

Angry white Tea Party folks do stuff like this these days.

It’s what Klan always did from the time of Reconstruction.

It’ll be this way as long as whites fear being in the minority.

They’re a cowardly lot.

The devices did not blow up and nobody was injured, police said.

One thing I like about today’s racists is that they’re so full of hate and rage, but often too woefully inept to do any real damage.

As thought any amount of violence could change who is right and who is wrong. The people who do things like this are stupid cowards.

This couldn’t possibly be true, because Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Roberts says that racism no longer exists in America. But since Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Roberts is a motherfucking liar, then I could be wrong.
