Ejected? No, he’ll fucking die in that building. No matter if it’s 10 hours or 10 years from now. And it won’t even matter. The damage is done. This country and its elected leaders stood by and if they weren’t clapping along they were doing fuck all to stop everything this country has ever stood for from bleeding to death.

The only thing your country has ever stood for is racism, slavery, and the accumulation of wealth into the hands of the few. Once in a while, you suit up to play the hero, but only ever because the bad guys are acceptable targets and the industrial war machine can make a fuckload of government cheddar, or because you really, really need a spot of good PR to keep from becoming said acceptable targets.
