As far as mass and random shooting tragedies go, Reeves is making the problem worse.

Reeves’ face is superimposed on Eastwood’s in clips from the classic Dollars trilogy movies. He’s seen cosplaying the white anti-hero, the Man with No Name, shooting at Mexican bandits

I’m surprised he didn’t use the opening cafe scene in Dirty Harry where the “punks” are Black. But that one’s set in San Francisco, so I guess ineligible.

“I have a message for all those governors in New York and California and Illinois: Mississippi is coming to take your jobs, and we have no intention of giving them back,” Reeves said.

And then Reeves departed on his flying unicorn.

That one is particularly egregious, though the original bank robbery is bad as well.

Reeves campaign staffers are reassuring voters those banditos are indeed gay and trans, so he was doing them a favor by shooting them,.

If Mississippi was so great, why would they need to take jobs from California? Wouldn’t they already have all the jobs?

Let’s face it, his state is poor as fuck and it’s a result of their awful policies.

White trash appealing to white trash. Murder is fine when it’s white people murdering members of minorities. The New South is just the Old South.
