London says that he is a law abiding citizen that has received high level training in the safe use of firearms for self defense purposes by former police officers. However, this didn't matter when he says corrupt local police arrested him, put him in jail and took away his legally owned firearm.

He was arrested following a narrow escape when he was nearly run down by a car that was being driven dangerously in full view of witnesses. None of this mattered to the Police Department who showed their racism, acting under the supposed color of law to enforce their own anti-constitutional regulations based on bigotry and corruption.

Critical Update! By Pastor Conrad Bennette Tillard

To all my friends who support Biden, I just want you to consider a number of things.

1. Biden is now our only candidate left. Thus he is, baring any unforeseen circumstances, our (Democrat) Standard Bearer. I get that, in all likelihood I will vote for him and encourage others to.

2. I do not do politics emotionally, I haven't since 1984. I do not believe in politicians, I believe in God.

That being said I can make a choice between two wholly unimpressive candidates. But it's not me, a triple prime voter( I always vote) that we need to be concerned about.

It is the casual observers, the masses, the youth, etc. that have to be fired up. Biden now has to do that. I'm sorry but the arguments that many Biden enthusiast are making are not going to cut it.

He has to give people a reason to vote for him - and Trump is bad is not going to account for getting millions of voters out across 50 states.  Don't be an apologist for Biden, get in his cakes and make sure his campaign gives people a reason to vote for him - that only marginally has to do with Trump.  That is the only way he will close the enthusiasm gap, and get the numbers out that he needs.
