  1. I’m shocked that Hump finds what Christie said so egregious.
    Embarrassed for you actually Steve.
    While I haven’t read the article itself, trusting what you wrote, I can’t see calling for the murder of policemen to be any kind of responsible action by any group of people.

    I must have mis-read what Hump wrote….

  2. I’m still just awed by Humps stupidity on what Christie said, and I’m not a Christie supporter by any means.
    But I do support my friends and family members that are cops, and don’t feel anyone is justified in calling for their murder – as well as supporting my black friends.
    WTF Hump? Are you trying to generate interest in your publication by spouting off idiot things, ala Trump and tabloid style?
    Jumped the shark, man.
