Easier to write then 1 dead in terror attack 2 dead after monitoring helicopter crashed. writing headlines is hard "Violent clash" implies they died in a fight, not getting mowed down by a terrorist for counter protesting a (non-racist according to Danglars) white supremacy rally. EDIT: or in a helicopter crash... | ||

He is the founder of the Nazi Party. He is the founder of Nazism, okay? He is the founder. He founded the Nazi Party. And I would say the cofounder would be crooked Jeff Sessions. | ||
