I bet you blame rape victims for being raped too.
If he was legally allowed to open carry a gun (appears to be the case), was not even holding it at the time of his first interactions with LE (per current videos, appears to be the case even if unconfirmed as of yet - it appears he was holding his phone), and was shot almost execution style (ditto), in what way is that expected? You are blaming an apparently law abiding citizen for his own death. That’s not only morally reprehensible but factually dishonest and undercutting your own alleged support at the knees.
I’m not sure how you read a comment pissed off at internet bystanders continually howling for people to bring guns to protests and decided that meant I was blaming him for being murdered.
Because this is the gestapo, are you fucking serious? You think they aren’t being told to kill people that look at them funny? Do you think a single person taking a gun to an anti-Nazi protest in Germany in 1935 would have been perfectly safe? Did bringing a gun help this guy at ALL?
If you feel you absolutely have to bring a gun to a protest, learn from the Black Panthers.
Right there. That's you blaming him. Fuck all the way off.
If you don’t want to read a single thing I’m saying I can’t make you.
If you don't want to own your simping for the gestapo, no one can make you.
I don't typically read fascist apologia, no.
Because that’s what you’re saying. What did HE expect bringing a gun to a protest?
That how you decided to interpret what I said, if you don’t want to actually read what I’m saying there’s nothing I can do about that.
Getting hit by a car is the expected result of riding a bike in the street here, if you do it long enough, which is why I don’t do it even though it’s legal. That doesn’t mean it’s the cyclist’s fault if they get hit or that the driver is blameless.
..if you are legally allowed to ride a bike in a road and you are hit by someone for doing that, then that person is still legally responsible for hitting you.
Like. Did you even watch the video? What part of what happened appeared inevitable to you?
You can keep denying what you’re saying. But it’s clear that only one of us actually understands the weight of what is actually being expressed.
