Fanone (wearing black Dropkick Murphys t-shirt) is a cop who was brutally attacked on January 6th. Someone shocked him three times with a stun gun and he suffered a HEART ATTACK. He protected and served the nation only to be betrayed, by his fellow citizens, and by Trump, who pardoned the rioters.
S
Not rioters. INSURRECTIONISTS
S
He also voted for Trump in 2016 so there’s that. LAMF
J
And unlike far too many people who voted for Trump, he has loudly spoken out against him in the wake of January 6th.
S
One thing people on the right share is being all for the evil until it directly effects them.
R
Because of the whole January 6th or because he was personally harmed?
J
I’m going with both, with the revisionist history and blaming of the vastly outnumbered cops being the icing on the cake.
S
Still did his fucking job when push came to shove though. I think we should forgive a one-time Trump voter if they literally DIE (however briefly) standing up for the law.
P
>I think we should forgive a one-time Trump voter i Personally i can only forgive a 2016 trump voter. I think theyre stupid but like a stupid i can understand. You wanted to change the status quo and most people were still largely unaware of politics and thought what the hell could go wrong. Dumb yes, but not heinous. 2020? Nah. Youre stupid. Im glad you learned your lesson and didnt repeat in 2024 but i dont trust your judgement as a person at all to associate with you. 2024??? I want their license taken away and i dont trust them to put the fries in the bag. How fuckin dumb and gullible or hateful are you as a person to forget everything that happened or believe the lies or just how spiteful can you be?? If i have to deal with you as a person it will fully be with contempt and my filter is off unless it costs me my job.

Imagine making a decision. Coming to terms that it was a bad decision. And changing your mind based on your observations since you made that bad decision. Crazy right? Imagine having loyalty to the constitution instead of a racist and narcissistic pedophile. Crazy white?
S
First point: ACAB. Second, most people on the right support the evil until it harms them. I feel no sympathy for enablers who change their tune only after they incur some harm.
D
You probably think that such black-and-white/hardline thinking is cute and edgy, but it’s not…it’s childish.
L
And he now regrets it. Think of him and his fellow officers when the Right screams “Back the Blue.”
I
Yah and that was four years and a whole other election before the capital riots. What’s your point? He may have supported him all the way up to J6 but do you think he does now?? 6 years later. You’re annoying.
S
Yeah. When Trump’s BS effected him personally, suddenly he was against Trump. I see that every day and I don’t sympathize. Also, ACAB.
D
I had no idea who Raiklin was until I Google’d him. He’s a conspiracy theorist psycho.
N
Probably trumps next head of fbi or something
N
And obvious pedo.
G
Infowars darling.
A
I love Fanone. Love.
H
The DROPKICK MURPHYS shirt was a really nice touch
A
Yes I loved that!
P
I will almost always side with the guy in a Dropkick Murphys shirt.
M
I noted that. Saw them last year. Would have brightened the proceedings if they performed.
A
he’s a good man, but I don’t think he’s been well since J6… I don’t know how he was before that, but the whole affair seems to have shaken him to the core and broken him, especially all the gaslighting following the actual insurrection
N
With the amount of death threats that he has gotten with the amount of bodily harm towards his daughters. He’s taking a better than I would’ve. I would’ve done a Charles Bronson on these fucking people.
N
Yep! Handled it better than me! I would go Rambo lol
I
That Raitlklin is a coward. Only cowards act like this scum. I hope someday divine justice will fall upon him and be judged accordingly!
N
Absolutely. I hope there’s some sort of justice in the universe but afraid there isn’t.
D
Just because you’re mad doesn’t mean you win A fight . I love when a dude like you comes at me and I go oh your mad? You must have the advantage now…as I lay you out
M
I mean, I’m sure he could find them outside of the building and hasn’t.
S
DW 1 or 2?
D
Rightly so, considering what he dealt, and is dealing, with. And then you have inbred POS agitators like Raiklin allowed to be part of society and you can understand even more. I’d pay to cover Fanone’s lawyers if he were to permanently remove a scab like Raiklin from society.
L
Don’t you just love how they, MAGA folks who let Raiklin, dress him up in a suit to make him look legitimate. His only purpose there was to agitate. I’m glad some people applauded Fanone as he was led out. The guy is a real live hero; he and the others who were there that day and saved America
N
He literally threatened to r@pe children. Isn’t that a crime? They Ned to look at his harddrive.
O
Raiklon is Russian agent, straight up. Mike Flynn’s crew. Can’t believe Trump appointed Flynn to the Board of Visitors for the[U.S. Military Academy at West Point](https://www.google.com/search?q=U.S.+Military+Academy+at+West+Point&client=safari&hs=sxXU&sca_esv=20e61c84b11a2ebb&rls=en&ei=spFyacs1-aDk2g-rqO7IAg&ved=2ahUKEwiUsMSIh6CSAxX4M1kFHWbpCakQgK4QegQIBRAB&uact=5&oq=What+is+Mike+Flynn%27s+current+job%3F&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiIVdoYXQgaXMgTWlrZSBGbHlubidzIGN1cnJlbnQgam9iPzIGEAAYFhgeMggQABiABBiiBDIFEAAY7wVIyStQAFj_KXAAeAGQAQCYAZQBoAHlFqoBBDI3Lja4AQPIAQD4AQGYAiGgAqwYwgIKEAAYgAQYQxiKBcICCxAAGIAEGLEDGIMBwgIKEC4YgAQYQxiKBcICCxAuGIAEGLEDGIMBwgIREC4YgAQYsQMY0QMYgwEYxwHCAg4QLhiABBixAxjRAxjHAcICCBAAGIAEGLEDwgIOEAAYgAQYsQMYgwEYigXCAgsQABiABBiRAhiKBcICERAAGIAEGLEDGIMBGIoFGI0GwgIFEAAYgATCAggQABiABBjHA8ICCRAAGBYYxwMYHsICBRAhGKABwgIFECEYqwKYAwCSBwUyMS4xMqAH08kBsgcFMjEuMTK4B6wYwgcIMC45LjIzLjHIB3mACAA&sclient=gws-wiz-serp&mstk=AUtExfCk-Wgwp4Vbw5-Nv3ORe5aSGU6EKO4Bv9Pl9007FpNwA8-dOkSFqG8Y1mWU4HmeLUO0HudjYpowUgago0ou5RL7xUYQUT-rESltalF2Tz4SCJu35epnAM_ILTEfuazdf4g&csui=3). All this rot needs excised from the planet.
G
“Every time I see you ive been civil” “You said you’d rape my daughter Raiklin. Fuck yourself.” Yeah Raiklin is a pos.
Z
The irony of him wearing a Dropkick Murphy’s shirt in all of this Edit: Nevermind thought it was the other guy wearing the Dropkick Murphy’s shirt
F
What is the irony? I thought the Dropkick Murphys were anti-fascist anti- trump.
A
They are.
J
Are you one of those stupid idiots that think punk rock is inherently authoritative??
Z
The Dropkick Murphy’s have literally dissed Trump, ding-dong.
J
So you used “irony” incorrectly?
Z
I didn’t and now you’re trying to come out with some semblance of a victory. Quit while you’re ahead. Watch, I’ll do it right now.
J
Z
Okay — my bad, it does appear I got Raiklin and Fanone mixed up. I’ll admit that’s 100% my bad.
H
He has every right to be fucking furious
W
Yea it’s probably some form of PTSD, and considering a large portion of the country deny the days violence he’s getting agitated. Very understandable.
S
I definitely see signs of PTSD coming from him. I really home he has someone to talk to. He is a hero in my eyes.
S
That whole business would pretty much mess up anyone. The initial trauma would be bad enough, but then all those goons pretending like it was something else altogether would drive me insane.
