The media will almost certainly brand this store owner as a racist. His life and business is basically over now. Responsible, hard working people need to vote with their feet and get the hell out of there, before everything is taken from them by an unruly mob. You cannot reason with a mob. And if you defend yourself, you will be prosecuted and possibly branded a criminal.

That's just one theory right now. We'll see how the details unfold.

If it was an owner and a looter trying to break in, well, that's the very definition of a "good kill" and completely in line with the non-aggression principle (natural law).

I guess it's the only way people will learn to keep their "protesting" outside of peoples' businesses.

Actually, I think this crap is going to happen again in the future. Many people just don't get it.

No they won't. Not if a man who is defending his business is branded a criminal. The mob will only become more unruly, aggressive, and embolden to target other innocent businesses.


We'll see what details emerge, but I have a feeling this man is going to be forced to retire, at the very least.

If theory holds and nothing crazy comes out, yep, that about sums it up.

Not even political or controversial.

Still a damn shame though that this is going on.

First question must be "Was that a looter or an innocent jogger?" (We already know he was an aspiring rapper who liked to make people laugh.)
