Just watched another video of a man and his wife who were viciously being attacked and beaten by these rioters/anarchist as they attempted to defend their small business. It appeared they punched his wife repeatedly and beat her with 2x4s, as the husband was also being attacked.
And watch another video of this older guy, guilty of simply holding and American flag, beaten, stomped and kicked into the pavement. There are many other videos out there which clearly depict these events.
Good innocent people are being severely beaten by these savage vicious groups of people.
To be honest, I am very surprised some of these victims have so far not opened up on these people who are trying to kill them and destroy their property and businesses.
How else are innocent people supposed to defend themselves when they're find themselves being savagely attacked by bloodthirsty mobs? The cops are obviously not able to protect them. So why haven't they defended themselves, each other, and their property?
Good question. I dunno the answer to that one.
Probably don’t have guns.
I would have opened fire, if under similar circumstances and armed. Don’t know if these store owners were packing heat.
Better to be judged by twelve than carried by six.
Because government is on the looters’ side.
When some imbecile asks why a person “needs” an AR15 with a 30 round mag .... this is why
As soon as the media got ahold of it they would be labeled as “White Nationalists” , prosecuted, and sent to prison.
And the media will demand he/she be arrested/prosecuted.
Their government recognizes what these criminals did as some form of legitimate protest.
The last few months have highlighted the difference between red and blue state America.
Perhaps those negatively impacted by this lawlessness and the draconian lock-down policies would do well to remember this in November and vote accordingly.
I doubt they will, but you never know.
People in flyover country are armed and willing to protect themselves.
They’re predators. They target the weak (Victims of being disarmed by their governments).
Because I am smart enough to know not to go where there are folks that might need to be shot by me.
Probably because they fear jail time.
For instance, an owner of a pawn shop shot a looter a couple of days ago. The police came and arrested the store owner. While they were taking him to the squad car other looters were walking right past the man and the cops to loot the rest of the store.
Let the people defend themselves and their property and this looting crap would stop right quick.
Doesn’t anyone remember the Korean store owners during the Rodney King riots? Of course, in this day and age, the cops would’ve responded to take the Koreans away......
Sad state we find ourselves in.
I agree with Mr. Jeeves. They hesitate to use force to defend themselves and their property out of fear the justice system will side with the looters and criminals. The facts show this to be the case in many of these shithole cities.
I believe the 2x4 attack victims were in the State of New York. I’m told that self-preservation with firearms is not permitted there.
That's more an indictment against the rioters than it is against the innocent.
Because people are terrified of being the next white guy to kill a black guy. Even if it’s 100% righteous, justified self defense shooting, the media and the authorities will react like it was a racist shooting and the life of the shooter will be ruined. He will be prosecuted until he is bankrupt even if there is no way the prosecution would win. (Just like General Flynn decided to plead guilty when he wasn’t. Not only was he broke, but they were threatening his family. Even if there was nothing they could do to his family, fighting a court case against the government is financially devastating.)
Even in conservative states the riots are happening in the most liberal areas with Democrat mayors.
The MSM is avoiding most self defense reports in this.
Ever get stopped by a Philadelphia police officer while you were lawfully carrying a concealed handgun? Your weapon will be seized, you’ll be given a receipt, and you’ll have to claim it from the precinct station when it is convenient for them. Bottom line: You’ll be without your property for weeks/months.
Why? Because most responsible people who can think far enough ahead of time to be armed, avoid dangerous situations.
As a Concealed carry license holder, I will avoid deadly force confrontations if I can. If I can’t, I will end them quickly and move to someplace where I am safe.
The fear jail so much they’d risk being brutally beat to death?
Amazing.
