Bullshit. He was 17 years old, and he was carrying an AR-15 assault rifle. What kind of fucked up country is it in the first place that we have 17 year olds allowed to own or carry such weapons without at least adult supervision? He never should have been there! He wasn’t a business owner defending his property, let the fucking professionals handle the situation. If it’s that bad, get the National Guard out there, but vigilante groups like this have no business existing in America. None!
Yeah, the kid was pretty stupid to come there in the first place, and with a rifle too. I did not say he should have gone there. But he (and others) would not have come if the rioters had not rioted and senselessly burned down buildings.
And also what he did is not premeditated murder.
Here’s the real question. Why aren’t these things happening in Germany? Or Denmark? Or Canada? Or virtually anywhere else in the free world.
The AR15 part is due to MUCH stricter gun laws.
But Germany and other European countries have had devastating rioting too. For example, Hamburg suffered pretty severe anti-capitalism riots (including our "friends" the Antifas) in 2017.
Why do we never read about cops shooting unarmed people in these places, followed by rioting, followed by vigilante groups who feel free to Shoot at anyone THEY have determined to be a threat?
As I said they have fewer guns. Second, there is no black nationalism. Third, Blake WAS ARMED.
This is the direct result of decades of a fear and gun culture perpetrated those like Donald fucking Trump who spew hate filled monologues about how brown people are rapists, and drug dealers, and you need a gun to protect yourself a
More like the result of decades of fearmongering that somehow black people are being hunted by police and by whitey even though black people commit about 5x as many murders per capita as whites.
Result of decades of that racist propaganda:
'Black people in America are scared,' says LeBron James after Jacob Blake shooting
In a free society, only the state should have a monopoly on violence. I don’t like rioters or looters either.
I agree with you. I do not like loose US weapons laws or the prevalence of militias, be they white or black.
But if you have rioting and lawlessness, and local cities/counties not doing enough to restore order, then it is hardly surprising that armed people opposed to the rioters would show up.
Hope they’re all prosecuted.
We agree there! Unfortunately, "progressive" DAs have basically declared that they will go easy on rioters and have been dropping charges. That merely encourages more rioting!
But back off and let the professionals handle it. Going down there is only going to escalate the problem and get you and someone else hurt. Even if it is your business, that’s what you have insurance for.
I agree that people should not come in seeking trouble. But I have a lot of respect for people protecting their livelihoods from the violent mob.
