DEFUNDING the College FEDERAL grant money would be the best idea for
stopping violence and saving BLACK LIVES. Get the Federal Government out
of the College campus, and the STUDENTS won't need to BURN and loot the
FEDERAL BUILDINGS and we could then also afford to repair all the damage
the college Marxists are doing to the FEDERAL BUILDINGS.


*TAKING THE MONEY OUT OF THE POCKETS OF THE PEOPLE DOING THE DAMAGE* TO
FEDERAL BUILDINGS WOULD TAKE THE WIND OUT OF THEIR SAILS.


Sorry RIOTERS there is no money for college it all went to repairs for
Federal buildings and statues and guarding them.

An Executive emergency order would do it, just tap into the STUDENT
GRANT program and use up all their money to protect the buildings and
police and statues and protection of Federal assets to the STUDENT GRANT
PROGRAM from whence the RIOTERS were born.
