I know more than a few Libertarians, some lean left others lean right, some young and some old. I personally know no one who would even think of joining blm in their protests...no matter their political beliefs.
It wouldn't be the first time someone with blm/antifa had attacked one of their own, especially if the one attacked had shown weakness...usually when they are trying to protect someone else who was attacked by the mob. Perhaps the shooter thought they were going to attack him, or maybe they had tried to attack him? idk.
In the link I had posted the shooter is seen in a group of armed blm members. I couldn't clearly hear 'everything' the leader was instructing him and others in the group to do, but another in the group clearly said .. "As long as you f... with the government and not each other we are with you. No lives can matter until black lives matter."
Poor kid that had to defend himself from the 3 communists has been charged with first degree murder and Lake County Illinois has a warrant out for him as a fugitive from justice. Thank god for the video! CLEAR self defense.
Yea, probably was not the best idea to attack someone with a gun.
Still awaiting all info to determine if I thought it was justified or not, justified meaning legally was defending himself with deadly force. The video it looks to be a clear case of self defense.
Edit; did I read that right? He is 17? What in the hell is he even doing there, and is it even legal for him to have such a firearm in that state?
So he showed up not to protest or counter protest or to protect property but came looking for a confrontation with anybody that crossed his path. Those morons took him up on his offer and paid the price. Throw his ass in jail but anybody he shot should be in the jail cell with him.
I imagine 20 minutes earlier those losers were throwing bricks at cops and then were calling them yelling for help when the shooting started.
Two killed, one injured last night. All in the name of George Floyd and or Jacob Blake. Or is it police brutality ? No , wait, systemic racism ? Or is it Trumpy Trump ? Just trying to understand burning and looting the area one lives in, along with killing and injuring others. This is supposed to what ? Someone help me here...
Nothing solves the pain of a black man being shot when breaking the law than shooting even more people in your own community. I hear that's common sense. Kill more to save more.
It seems that some of our government is openly protecting these rioters. Allowing them to riot and attack citizens without any effort to stop them, and when citizens respond, they charge them with homicide.
1. He shouldn't be charged with ANYTHING other than being a minor and having the rifle with him. It was CLEAR self defense thank god for the videos.
2. WHY in the hell would his parents let him leave and go to the riots? Armed or not armed I don't want my kids near this crap! His parents should be charged with neglect.
It may be difficult to plea 'self defense', when (from what I have read thus far), this 17 year old armed himself and drove from one state (Illinois) to another (Wisconsin) to go to a protest. It sounds per-meditated. I guess it is why he is being charged with first degree intentional homicide.
