Grisham's full statement reads:
Although we are still learning more about the situation, I am horrified and disgusted beyond words by the reports of violence at a protest Monday night in Albuquerque.

THIS is exactly what the left wanted. They were/are prepared to scrifice one of their pawns to get media attention. Now they have it. Prepare for an escalation
If the authorities side with the mob then the people will.
Well I say GOOD ON HIM! Enough of this bullshit!
I have gotten old. When I was a younger man I would have been in the fight if it was one-on-one. The older me is not going to take a beating. I fully support the guy that shot the POS that hit him as he was trying to leave the area.
