Kip Clip #11 / Sunday CuteTuber™

Remember the scene early in Superman: The Movie where Marlon Brando retorts to Trevor Howard: “You would accuse me of insurrection?”
That’s how I felt, in this context of this recent post calling out an idiot who threw M&Ms at a police officer investigating a hit and run, when another commenter called me a “cop sucker” —
“Kip” is the kind of guy I think of when I think of Mencken’s remark that Americans get the government they deserve, and they deserve to get it good and hard. Should Kip someday find himself under the jackboots of America’s “finest,” I sure hope there is no one around to squander any sympathy on his behalf.
The point, of course, if not whether I “ever find myself under the jackboot of ‘America’s finest,’” but whether I do so because I illegally hurled M&Ms at them. It scares me that some libertarians don’t seem to comprehend the difference.
In any case, an adolescent comment like that deserves an adolescent* Kip Clip:
Another isolated incident.

Hello Kip,
I know that feeling.
With some people – libertarians and others – anyone who is not (100.000%) with them is against them.
Cheers,
