Ok, so, I can't see in the video if they were armed and I gotta say that it looks like mistakes were probably made on both ends here. I'm not sure that shooting her was the 'right' thing to do, but it may not have been unjustified either. If I was in my office and 100 people were hammering on the locked door to get inside and yelling and screaming - first person through has a high chance of being my messenger for the others.
I can't really condone a lot of what these "Trump" supporters did in this video - even though I will still say it is a lot less violent and destructive than the videos from BLM - but I also don't think this is the way most Trump supporters go about things, and in spite of what everyone wants to say about Trump, he made a statement for everyone to remain peaceful, remember we are the side that is law abiding.
Trump clearly believes the election was stolen. Many people, including myself, believe there should be a legit investigation even if it doesn't overturn this election and we have been ignored. That doesn't "justify" things. Sometimes people get so upset and wrapped up in fighting, they forget what they are fighting for I guess - but those people are usually pretty desperate.
And to be fair, I think many of the BLM protesters are in the same boats on their side. Many probably are peaceful, some are probably desperate, some are probably crazy. My real issue is the biased presentation of it all - it's OK for one desperate side to commit crimes with impunity, but the other side will have everything twisted against them. I mean, bringing up a man's political tweets after he had a heart attack and died, just so you can push your own narrative?
We surely have to all agree that is disgusting. How would you feel if your father or brother went to a protest, was probably peaceful, had a heart attack and died and the media used his death as political fodder just because he died somewhere that they could use to their advantage? And then dug up every tweet he posted and likely mischaracterized him? It just shows how truly evil the media has become.
Taters gotta tate. I'm not going to defend criminals. Clearly these videos show some people going a bit far. I'm all for charges being brought and due process and justice. And to be fair, honestly, sometimes you do things with acceptance of your consequences. Maybe some of the people believe they had to do something and they are OK with facing a court and jail. I don't know. But like Trump said, we're supposed to be the law abiding, police-supporting side. We shouldn't be sending police to hospitals, etc.
On the other hand, I also understand the need to stand up to these lifelong, career politicians who are out of touch and screwing everyone over. They need to smarten up and see the writing on the wall. They are sowing these seeds, as much as they want to blame whatever group or faction they want to blame. And that's republicans or democrats - although, again, it's impossible to be a lifelong politician AND a republican. The ideas are in-congruent.
Man up Bossman. Did someone hurt your feelings? What a puzzy.
Just kidding of course. We do go at it in here. It can be rough.
Again, if this is true, it isn't what MOST republicans stand for. I don't know the full story of course - but people do a lot of stupid things. I am solidly on the side of being against attacking someone for taking a photo - although I don't know if there was more to it in this instance.
