My heart goes out to the poor American civilians killed by the terrorists. Yes, perhaps slavery is bad, but this is no way to act. If slaves could just protest nonviolently then perhaps we could reach a compromise solution. Unfortunately, we are dealing with human animals and I pray for the safety of Southampton County militia. God Bless America. 🇺🇸 ❤️
