Neil Brennan explains why smart people don’t try to physically overthrow the US government with firearms.

He’s been charged in hundreds of contract dispute cases and over a thousand cases related to his casinos.
It would be a much harder decision to make if voting for Trump meant removing his head from his body.
New Yorkers have no tolerance for entitled people who screw over others out of arrogance or for personal gain. However when shit hits the fan, we band together in an instant.
Watch a video of any accident or tragedy in NYC. You’ll see how quick New Yorkers are to help someone in distress.
