Go After Jihadists in NY

Why aren’t they going after the Muslims in NYC and all cities in the U.S. Muslims tend to have 10 kids and train them to become Jihadists. Half of them are considered expendable, who cares if they blow themselves up in the name of Allah, so they think. DEPORT the MUSLIMS!

WHY ARENT THESE STORES SHUT DOWN, AND WHEN A “NEW” OWNER TRIES TO OPEN THE STORE, BACK CHECK THEM AND SEE THEY ARE EITHER RELATED OR THE SAME PEOPLE.

NYC

Joe

NYC’s finest at work, keeping the 1% in thier throne, what is the difference they are all made in china.

So true Joe. Only difference is these go for $20 to $40 and they tell you they are copies not the real thing when you buy them. So what is the crime you bought a copy? The guy who designed them did not get his $ so he can make them in china.

LOL, I hope these counterfeiters make off with as much money as they can. These corporations ship the jobs to China, so might as well let them make their cash and take it away from the higher ups.

NYC

but mostly they don’t sell to Chinese people, most of them are American people buys them.

Wow, and just before the start of the holiday shopping season. Can we call these guys the “Grinch” or what?
