  1. Who says he didn't instigate either. Videos are good but the whole story is still missing
  2. So we know what lead to the initial confrontation that lead to the first murder?
  3. At this point a massive testing regime should be the solution. We've had months to get capacity up, this should be what we are doing. A lockdown isn't always the solution, but it was at the time. We just fucked around and wasted the time.
  4. Does that make a difference? He just shot someone, how are you supposed to derive his intentions from there? Is there no justification to hold a shooter from running away so that the police or other authority can apprehend and presumably let the justice system work out?
  5. How do you know it's self defense and not act 1 of a mass shooting event? And is the skateboarder not entitled to fear for their own life and act similarly?
  6. Unless they're a cop, but only a good cop, not a bad one there to take your guns. I dunno. The whole thing is logically inconsistent, surprise surprise. The logic is: cops have authority of the state/monopoly on justified violence, listen to them. If cops aren't there, you have the right to exercise lethal force to protect yourself, thus undermining the monopoly of force that the state supposedly holds. Ok, fine, that's understandable. BUT, after you utilize lethal force, if anyone not the state tries to stop you, you can exercise lethal force again until the state, the only other actor apparently who can use justifiable violence, comes in to extract 'justice'. So basically if you beat others to the "fear for my life" punch, you can kill to your heart's desire until the state shows up, because anyone trying to disarm or neutralize you in any way can be seen as a threat to your life or safety, regardless of your actions which may have threatened others! Or the violence spirals as your actions make innumerable others fear for their life or safety and the cycle perpetuates itself again and again. Of course this only really can work if you're white and allegedly in defense of petty capital.
  7. It really explains the appeal of the Q conspiracy shit on the right, where allegedly trump is gonna round up and execute his enemies.
  8. The second person shot seems to have been trying to disarm the shooter. RW media saying "what did you expect" and justifying the kid's actions here would imply that trying to disarm a known shooter is justification to be killed by the known shooter. Just insane shit here.
  9. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/27/us/kyle-rittenhouse-kenosha-shooting-video.html It seems that in confusion, looks like after some gunfire people might have tried to disarm him, thinking he was the shooter, then he kills the first person, shot to the head. He runs away, falls, shoots another and kills one more. This is why having guns at these protests are a bad idea.
  10. I'd be willing to bet 50,000 dead Rohingya they don't really care. FB employees are the anonymous trump administration officials of the tech world
  11. Wind speeds would stop increasing if we stopped measuring the wind speed
