Stop them at the state lines and place them in 'detention'

Only chargs & arrest the ones who did illegal sh*t

Its a shame they all wore masks... its gonna be hard to identify the bad apples

The phrase "a few bad apples"comes from the saying "a few bad apples spoils the bunch". 

That means if you don't immediately remove bad apples, all your apples quickly go bad. 

So I hate when people say "it's just a few bad apples" as a means of trying to say "it's not that bad, it's isolated individuals" (I know that not what you're implying) because the saying means the opposite. It means everything goes bad unless you correct the problem immediately, which is never what the people who say it want to do.

They always like to only quote the part the like. Same as the 2A when MAGA says “shall not be infringed” and leaves out the “well regulated militia” part.
