There were definitely not that many brown faces peering in from the peanutty as he11 gallery. Had this been an actual BLM rally the Capitol steps would now be stained red with blood and not a window would have been broken. The Payned Trump crowd would be crowing about stand your ground and justice served.
Oh, Henry, you must like a surprise ending with a twist. Let’s say you were in The Capitol Building and carrying a gun to witness history. Then a group of Trump’s thugs breech the building and they don’t know who you are. They are wearing bullet proof vest and breaking into the chamber by force. Would you pull the trigger if you feared for your life and the life of others or look for a place to hide and hope to survive ? Tough question.
Mr. Payne, OK, fair enough, we need armed police offers to help put down insurrection, but wouldn’t the better option be to PREVENT insurrection in the first place?
After all, we are The United States, leader of the Free World, or are you suggesting that we should now expect insurrection as a commonplace occurrence? And if so, are hand guns enough?
The intellectual dishonesty of Henry Paine is through the roof. No one called for defunding the Capitol Police. The problem is the other way around – guns should be in hands of law enforcement officers, not in the hands of wackos wrapped in confederate flags.As for the “defund the police”, it means that some communities want more funds to educational and capacity building projects for their vulnerable members. This also means less money for policing schemes that can be described as bullying and not law enforcement.
Payne is lucky that he is protected by the First Amendment and can’t be arrested for inciting the Riots along with Varvel and Ramirez and other Right Wing Media insurrectionists!!!
Defunding the police is not a Democratic policy. And it doesn’t mean disarming or releasing them. It means diverting resources from battle gear to programs that help to reduce crime.
Got to feel for the cops.. having to pull a gun on a fellow white “friend” has to be tough. If only the mob was colored.. be like shooting fish in a barrel.. fun.
I think we should start to rate these. The rubric is:
Honesty: 5 to 0 with 5 being Honest Abe and 0 being TrumpIntegrity: 5 to 0 with 5 being Vinderman and 0 being TrumpSanity: 5 to 0 with 5 being well grounded in reality and 0 being bat shit crazy(Trump)
I’d give this a 2. It’s not completely wrong, so 1 for honesty. If Payne had any integrity he’d be looking at the rioters, so 0.And it’s insane situation, so 1.
And can you imagine the body count if BLM peaceful protestors had even TRIED to mount the steps? Nobody ever said the cops shouldn’t have guns, Henry. What people are saying is stop giving them weapons of war to unleash on their own citizens. This little cartoon you have here is simply a further example of the extremism ripping the place apart.

If the capitol police treated demented people the way so many other police departments do, Louis Gohmert and Matt Gaetz would be six feet under.

Every time I think Henry Payne can’t possibly suck any more than he already does, he goes and proves me wrong.
Alright, Henry! You win! You are the undisputed champion of cartoonists that suck! Please stop demolishing your own seemingly unbreakable records!

Henry, how about condemning the mob? You were quick enough to condemn BLM marches even when they were peaceful. I guess you really are that racist.

Another lie from Hank. Guns are not banned in DC. You can have a gun in your home. You can carry a gun around with you if you’ve applied for a permit.
William Bednar Premium Member over 3 years ago
You had to know that Henry Payne would be a contrarian. He can’t condemn Trump, Cruz, or any other GOP member. Too much for him to bear.

Oh yeah. It’s clear that all their guns kept the situation under control.
A little intelligence would have gone much, much farther.

Gotta agree with Payne here. “Defund the cops” is an issue I disagree with; therefore, the Demos are for it.

Of course alt-rights try to blame their own treasonous rioting on their opponents – shows how alt-rights truly hate democracy and the American people!
