Humans are certainly wired toward anarchy; No_recess brought a great example awhile back of how when we were kids we settled our differences amongst ourselves without getting parents involved.
Human nature doesn’t care about your labels. You can call them whatever you want. They are still operating in their own or their teams self interest.

Yeah I doubt those in particular were the family members. Just anarchists that like to join in on any protest. But that wasn’t what everyone was doing.

From what details have been released it was likely justified though that he was shot in the back will lead to questions.

Human nature is that of anarchy. Fact.

"Justice" entails kicking the car of a senior citizen who is trying to take a left turn and screaming obscenities and pejoratives at him while doing so? Even if every member of the mob was an actual family member related to the victim of whatever, how does initiating force against random passers by achieve justice in any way, shape or form?

And having compassion, be it a sliver or a heaping tablespoon full, does not require turning a blind eye to initiations of force. I have empathy and compassion for any family suffering any tragedy, just generally, but that does not mean I would ever excuse them for or give license to initiations of force.

Suffering grief does not suspend natural individual rights or the NonAggression Principle.

It wasn’t the whole demonstration doing that is the point. Just a few that like to exploit any cause whatsoever to act out. They should be rounded up absolutely. But it absolutely was not some Antifa led event or anything like that.

Antifa is the new hobby of the young Dems. Instead of getting together for lunch, they go ruin peoples stuff.

This protest looks smells and acts like Antifa. I'm sure they invaded. They are protest crashers. https://pjmedia.com/trending/blm-and...ce-shooting/It says both.

This old lady who lives on the street came down in her wheelchair and asked if they could stop using the bullhorn. lmao, you might have guessed that was a NO you white old bi**h. We are mourning lady, mourning. I'm sure that little lib white girl isn't mourning that gang banger who got shot in Portland.

And this is exactly why people voted for Trump. It has nothing to do with this bogus Russian collusion BS. People are sick and tired of the extreme left democrats that have become so unhinged and violent, and then they want to take away our right to bear arms? FU!

And, there are the two people he supposedly shot. It's reported he was a gang banger and shot two guys first. Who knows anymore, since they protest any and everything. You just don't know.

You know that's what this is really about, right? They want violence. They want to be able to beat people up and break storefront windows.

The kids who were bullied have become the bullies.
Naw. What we are seeing is the result of the indoctrination and brainwashing that has been going on in our school systems. I also bet they are high on something too, some form of crack that gets them even more agitated.

As for the video clip:

They are impeding the freedom of movement of the individuals in their vehicles.

NAP upheld? Nope...
