I wonder how much it would cost to hire a 4-5 blackwater type guys to run ‘security’ for him. Just go collect everything from the previous ‘admin’ and tell them to f-off.

I would guess around a couple ten thousand a day.

I bet we could find 1M people that want to make things interesting. Get $1 from each person and let’s have a party!

The real question is if black water guys would actually protect a black man with their lives against rural white people.
