point fingers, deflect, distract.

One of the fact threads I won't forget is that none of the N.G. should have been deployed in the first place. The deployments are escalating, the military takeover of our cities is escalating, and the threat of violence is escalating. And it is all happening so one criminal doesn't got to jail for crimes he committed and was found guilty of committing.
