Texas is endangered by gangs of covidiotic bullies, and the rest are desperately trying to get vaccinated to be safe from them.

Greek thugs are habitually violent. A video showed a thug hitting someone with an iron bar, and this inspired a peaceful protest in which a few violently attacked some thugs.
