Hillsboro mayor and comedian Drew Hastings posted a Facebook status last week that many people hope was just a joke....

Hastings' post said "we are in a revolution in this country," before listing racial, religious and political groups that he claimed are "at war" in the U.S.

The Facebook status was made after the Planned Parenthood shooting on Friday, with a preceding post accusing the Colorado shooting that killed three people of being a "clever, devious fundraising effort."

Hastings said "blacks have all but formally declared war on whites, ideological types are fighting with Planned Parenthood, there's violence over immigration, Muslim extremism and our own government is at war with its citizens.

1. He has a point but all those together are probably about 5-10% of the population

The rest pretty much don't give a fuck.

How many people are playing Call of Duty vs. the complete number of political folks reading or blogging at any given point in time? 100-1? 50-1 maybe?


It would be nice if he had mentioned that all of those extremists in all of the groups he listed for the vast majority, are online social justice warriors.
