Re: The Protest Thread
Early vids seem to show the guy who got half his arm blown off was armed as he was attacking the rifle shooter, who may be the same guy who shot another guy in the head who was involved in the trashing a car lot, who may be the same guy threatening the armed guys protecting a business and literally daring them to shoot him.
Or none of this is true.
Crazy.

Re: The Protest Thread
looks like self defense in both cases to me. Of course, that won't stop the media narrative from being "Deranged white supremacist opens fire on peaceful protesters" today.

Re: The Protest Thread
Yeah for sure man, I definitely meant that post to cover *any* developments in Kenosha and not the specific decision in the wake of another police shooting to post about the protest and not the shooting itself--the response of "oh fuck this is going to get out of hand" and not "oh fuck something bad happened here." The fact that it has escalated two days later doesn't make skipping over Blake's shooting any less representative of the overt biases on display in this thread over the last few months!Bi_3 wrote:This post gets better with ageMickey wrote:Being more concerned with the response to the shooting than the shooting itself is so on-brand for this board.

It just ties the events to a location. Kinda minor one. Now watch the others.B wrote:I don't know any details of the shooting, but that video doesn't show jack shit.BurtReynolds wrote:

Re: The Protest Thread
Sadly that video will probably do more to panic Washington elites into doing something about these idiots than a dozen videos of blue collar and small business owners getting beaten to a pulp and their livelihoods destroyed.
