You all are being led around by the nose by someone who should just be thankful he's able to get a wifi signal from his spot under the bridge.

Just wondering. If the store clerk was black and the bullies were white, would you still see this as a happy ending? I suspect not...

I'm going off of what happened here. A peaceful resolution to a dispute. Why are you creating fictional scenarios? Why can't you debate reality?

No need for the ad hominem attacks.

I repeated myself because people are straying away from what happened and people are creating fictional scenarios. You called a group of law abiding 2A citizens thugs for no reason in this thread. You also started talking about Breonna Taylor for no reason, when the parallet i was making was George Floyd. Looks like the citizens learned their lesson in trusting the police to handle a dispute. Nobody was hurt, no property damage, no riots, no tax dollars wasted. This is what people wanted, now that they got it why is it still a problem?

Maybe we should even the odds just to keep things fair and all? Since all the guns and ammo have been sold out for months across the country, the government could help out and issue an AR kit and 1000 rounds to every taxpayer, like the stimulus checks. We could all do our own conflict resolution. Peace and non-violence would rule the land. Imagine all of the tax dollars saved. What more could you want?

The person running the store didn't want to close. The only reason he did so was because he felt intimated.

What happens when a shop owner tells them no he won't close... and to leave if they aren't buying anything.

Will those men simply turn out and exit the store?

Or will the situation escalate because the shop owner refuses to comply?
