    Welp, let’s get him elected and some of that immunity with it. Him running against flock and showing he is willing to do what it takes should give him good chances no?

      Was going to say the same thing. I read his ballotopedia responses and he seems better than a Republican. But that’s a pretty low bar.

        True. The Republican incumbent that he’s running against, Tim Burchett, promised to legislate against Flock cameras. While that’s nice, I no longer trust the promises of any Republican.

        As far as I’m concerned, we need to replace all Republican politicians. If their opponent is a Democrat, we need to be a little careful not to elect a wolf in sheep’s clothing. But if they’re independents like the guy we’re talking about, I think just about anybody would do. Like an animal or an inanimate object would even be infinitely preferable to a Republican.

    Those flock cameras are known to aggressively attack. Im absolutely certain this was in self defense.

    So what you’re saying is he’s a first amendment supporter with good aim who isn’t afraid to take direct action against federal surveillance overreach, right? I think you could sell this to the Republicans as a candidate just as easily as to the Democrats.

      I think you mean 2nd Amendment, 1st is free speech. The 2nd is right to bear arms. But you’re otherwise 100% correct. If I were in the district/state he would have my vote. If we can put a pedophile in the White House, we can surely put this guy in Congress.

        First is more! Speech, press, religion, assembly and redress of grievances. But no one on the right believes Trump is a pedophile btw.

    He’s just a kid, who took a wrong turn, and is from a good family. He’s obviously going to turn his life around. In 10 years, my best guess is the guy’s likely to become a surgeon.
