The police SHOULD have been there, done their job, and arrested the violent thugs. These fools are the very definition of terrorists-they use fear, threats and intimidation to force people to do their bidding. It's a shame that there weren't enough good guys there with guns to handle these savages-rather it's police or the law abiding public.
They did with George Floyd. I'm not BLM or Antifa so i'm not addressing them, because this situation has nothing to do with either. The police didn't need to be there, the issue was peacefully resolved. The police would have most likely violated somebody rights and escalated things to violence. It's strange that the "good guys with guns" label wasn't used here for the good guys with guns in the video.

The citizens handled the issue here without the police. No violence. No riots. No property damage. No death. No nationwide calls for "change". No waste of tax money. The police could actually use the time saved here to work on real crimes. This is what you all wanted, and some still don't seem happy. Interesting.

Good guys with guns don't enter a business, threaten and intimidate the owner and terrorize him/her until they comply with their demands. These aren't "good guys with guns", they are simply armed common criminals.

And the police weren't the ones rioting. Looting. Burning their neighborhoods. Destroying businesses. Dragging innocent people from their cars and beating them. Burning black neighborhoods and black businesses to the ground. All those scumbags were BLM and Pantifa rioters. You know, the "fine people" supported and financed by the Democratic party.

Where was the man terrorized? A group of men walking around with properly following gun guidelines is terrorism to you?
What crime was broken? This is interesting. What actual crime was broken? I saw a group of men TALK to a store clerk and they came to an understanding peacefully.
Why are you labeling people criminals with no knowledge of any of their names or backgrounds?

These types of people don't give a darn what people think about their actions.

These are not rational people we are dealing with here. They truly have no shame.

Of course they do. The more racial conflict the better for those guys. It maximizes their self-perceived importance.

This wasn't "handled" by citizens . The BP wasn't interested in the surveillance video and when the clerk tried to tell his side of the story the BP said he didn't want to hear it.

Dunno what the details are, but the clerk shouldn't have pulled a gun on someone for shoplifting (not sure this would've been legal where he is). He could've simply yelled get out and don't come back and perhaps filed a police report. The lady should've called the police if he illegally pulled a gun on her. If he was legally allowed to pull out a gun in that situation, he should've asked that group of dudes to leave, gotten on the phone with the police, and had his piece ready. If this is what "community policing" looks like, I'm not interested.

Something very weird is going on.
Yeah. Very weird. It’s called being put on notice that no disrespect will be tolerated.

Someone should have told those jokers they were the reason for that. This mob is no different if they end up causing the store to close. I'm not talking about law-abiding citizens who said those things - I feel sorry for them - particularly the elderly or those who can't afford transportation. Those folks aren't the 'they'.

I don't know what goes on with those store owners, but this isn't the way to handle it. You handle it by deciding as a community that you'll put the store owner on notice that if he doesn't get polite people serving everyone, nobody will enter that store again. (I think we saw a video like that last year.)

I find it a little disturbing that the mouth of the mob was so quick to decline viewing videotape. While I'm sure something happened, that raised a red flag for me.

But even if the clerk said all of that - send your message to the owner of the store who has a stake in the business and with your dollars.
Who turned and said “now we have no stores” after they burned it down. Show me. I need live footage.

And the store owner WAS put on notice. Clearly. With no ambiguity.
