@edarotag84 They don't need men, with 7 billion people, they can find plenty of women, blacks and even ex-First Ladies to do their bidding.

That's the reason the NWO likes them; they love hurting us and divirting our tax money to their buddies at the same time. False positives also give them a chance to harrass us, in fact, they probably program them to go off anytime someone they don't like passes by, computers make great scapegoats, they never say they're a patsy, and false negatives give them a chance to impinge further on our civil rights.

Is Janet Napoleon a real man, or a chaz bono man?

They'll probably still use it... big government loves things that fail. Like  big government for one.

But.. that's precisely the reason WHY these thugs welcome the machines.. Wish 10,000 bikers would pat the Dyke Napolitano down..
