You don’t think there was any violence demonstrated there? There was a show of force and a surrender. Also an economic punishment. I’m sure the punishment is not over for that shop owner either.

Are you saying you wanted the police to show up and do their usual guns-blazing response and spark another revolution?





Looked like extortion to me.

I have no issue with a peaceful resolution. It seems to me you think that involving the police would immediately translate into a shootout or violence. A crime was committed here, but not by the clerk from I can see. A group of armed men with no authority to enforce the law stormed into a private business and harassed an individual to get justice for their "black queen". The guy even said it didn't matter what actually happened in the stores surveillance camera, he just wanted a forced apology and the store shut down and to dictate how this business operates. Seems like old mafia tactics to me. No nobody there got hurt until somebody got hurt. It's not ok just because there's a so called racial revolution or whatever going on.

We all know 8won6 would have a problem with this if a group of white people did this to a black store clerk.

You make is sound like it wouldn't be the the Aggressor's fault, being threatening and armed with intent , if there was a resulting incident.

The moment they used their 2cd amendment right to oppress and coerce and violently threaten, they cease to have the high ground. And being black doesn't give them any more right than anyone else.

Police give you an order,.you do it, They know they doing wrong. Drop the weapon,..don't resist.

Why people are so apologetic to these thugs is beyond reason.

The Brianna cases are horrible,..and should be addressed. This is clearly not a Brianna case.

One size doesn't fit all..even though I know that goes against many people's comfort zone of identity group politics. Hiding personal responsibility within some group statistic.
Well said...

The police's job is to show up and shoot stuff. They are a hammer and nail type of operation. In this situation both sides peacefully came to an agreement. Nobody died or got hurt. No property was damaged. No riots. No tax dollars wasted. What more could you want?

a crime was ALLEGEDLY committed. Both sides talked it out peacefully. The police are an armed gun blazing response team. They dont practice deescalation. They escalate things.

People peacefully exercising 2A is what i saw. I saw conflict resolution. I saw peace and non violence. I saw no tax dollars wasted.
