video shows self defense, until that changes.................................
Video shows nothing of the sort. How interesting it must be to see the world through the eyes of a racist.

Just from the pictures I've seen - whacking someone repeatedly in the head repeatedly with a skateboard who has an AR 15 ..... Is not the smartest thing one can do.
If that were all there was to this, it would be a clear cut case of self defense.
The whole story paints a much more vague picture. Allegedly and supposedly, someone had fired a gun into a crowd, which caused some people to react, homing in on anyone with a weapon in hand. At some point in one of the videos, you can hear someone say something like "he's the shooter", or "he's not the shooter" before skateboard kid starts smacking him with his board.
Then you have the fact that the kid blind fired into a retreating crowd there towards the end, so...
The way I see it, you have a person who wanted to find an excuse to shoot someone, vs. a group of people who wanted to provide him one. The whole thing is a clusterfuck of fear, misinterpretations, spilled blood, and bullshit.
The police should arrest anyone who comes to these protests with a weapon, uses anything as a weapon, or does any harm to anyone. Allowing people to bring loaded guns to a protest like this is just asking for troubles. I wish the police would be allowed to do their job - but the problem is, the protests are against ... the police so governors feel, to keep the peace, they'll just let the protesters be and not "instigate" violence. Well... shit. Now idiots with guns are going to start joining looking for trouble. Good grief. What a mess. This is not going to end up well.
The reason the cops are loathe to attack armed protesters is because the mob is more well-armed than the cops. These mobs want to organize on Facebook and show up armed? Call them an illegal revolution against the United States of America and warn them an airstrike is incoming.
We have the right to PEACEABLY assemble. Showing up in force with assault weapons and body armor doesn't fit that definition.
Lol, that's exactly what Seddy's doing right now on MR.Right now, it's acceptable to be a racist but unacceptable to CALL somebody a racist. That is why this forum was created in the first place. So we can call a spade a spade without getting cancel-cultured by Weaselboy.

Here we go. Wow, I found it.
Yeah I saw it. He's not even legally allowed to have his weapon. His life wasn't in danger. There were other fights in that mob, and nobody else opened fire. He will not prevail with a self-defense argument in court.

There is never a shortage of people to blame. The problem is in the search of yet someone else to blame, nothing ever truly gets done.cops have no duty to protect, in places like portland the governor told them to stand down, even limited them to what they could use so they have their hands tied behind their back. go arrest arsonist and get accused of even more police brutality because OMG you dared stop an arsonist.
SOME cops are indeed to blame, just like ALL the POS Mfing politicians who passed a gazillion laws the cops enforce in the first place, you need POLITICIANS to CHANGE the laws and rules of engagement for the cops.
Remember though, this isn't the first time. We had this also happen...Just from the pictures I've seen - whacking someone repeatedly in the head repeatedly with a skateboard who has an AR 15 ..... Is not the smartest thing one can do.
I still think bringing a loaded gun to a protest is a hell no... but these protests are getting so damn violent, I can see why people are. Just near my home town (a few miles from my house) a tiny little protest (under a few hundred) resulted in blood.
I am refraining from making comments that put me on one side or another because I have not taken the time necessary to understand all the facts.
I agree that if the police were allowed to do their jobs... people wouldn't feel the need ... - they shouldn't... feel the need to bring weapons. They should not.

If that arsonist is white you can rest assured they will be arrested safely, the problem is they aren't well... Once again no is endorsing the arsonists, but if you don't believe it's the job of the police to go get the arsonists who are breaking the law, what's their job again. That tired bit of using the factoid "that the police don't protect", doesn't work if they aren't doing the job of arresting those who break laws like arson. Leaving it to endorse out of town militia, as a walk around for declaring them vigilantes which they really are is just weak ass sauce.
As long as there are SOME cops to blame, just like others want to blame ALL acts of rioting, looting, & vandalism on BLM, all cops have to unfortunately bear that blame. There's no selective application of blame. Unless you want to admit the position you're discussion is based on dishonesty. And that everyone but the people you prefer are to blame only.
I would argue that shooting unarmed black people so freely shows they feel they have all the authority in the world to do their jobs and then some.Just from the pictures I've seen - whacking someone repeatedly in the head repeatedly with a skateboard who has an AR 15 .....

Also what you ignored, was your insistence & tendency to blame someone else, then someone else, then someone else, all the while shifting any blame from the police who are part of the very origin of why the protests began.from your post
don't be mad at me because you can't handle the sauce. people are on their own, that is a FACT.
