"The gentleman was warned several times to layoff from the inciteful words that he was using," Matthews said. "He continued and at one point, the officers over there made the decision that his words were a peace disturbance that he was inciting the potential for violence and initiated the arrest."
Matthews said he didn't know what the exact words were.

It's all because our grandparents sat calmly by when the jewing started a century+ ago. Nice ppl's munching on the poisoned apple of 'tolerance' and 'diversity' in the hippie era leads directly to our brutal oppression and plundering now.

They already wussified their logo who knows how many years ago. The X in Dixie used to evoke the Confederate Battle Flag; now the X is a little pansy flower looking thing.
