Again just vague platitudes. Waving a sign is hardly “committing your life” anyways.

Which I am sure will comfort those whose lives are destroyed. You are happy so I am so sure they will be :roll:

It's becoming a common thing, there's been other sightings of people either ramming protesters over to get away from getting their cars and themselves bashed up or deliberately driving over protesters while screaming at them.

I have really hated some of the people (and I guess) their responses that I have talked with in good faith.

You know, do you want me to dig up the full 9 minute video of him on the concrete with a knee on his neck so that you can hopefully feel empathy for somebody dying from start to finish? Do you want me to gather up all the 'facts' and the 'whole story' first before I show you a murder? I want you to be angry, I want you to cry with me. Feel SOMETHING for fucks sake.

Why is it that you must assume that person is guilty before innocent because he's getting arrested? Why is it that you then talk and bring up other things like looting to distract the innocent man's life and unjustly death?

c'mon bro - think about the kind of people we're dealing with. It'd be amazing if they didn't nearly kill him and torch his car.

Yeah, did you know classes of a school overlap and things get passed on from one year to the next? Actual studies of social movements have shown consistently the presence of "veteran" activists, who are the links between BLM, BDS, Occupy, the Global Justice Movement, the anti-war movement, etc.

Besides, you can’t expect random people on the street to know how to restrain without harm. That’s a trained skill.

Hell, even the Minneapolis police apparently don’t know it.

He told them he had a bow and threatened to shoot them with it. After they damaged his car as a response, he got out with a lethal weapon and prepared to/tried to fire it.

Maybe the lessons here are don't be surprised when you threaten to kill people and catch shit for it, and don't expect sympathy once you actually try to follow through. Expecting untrained people to remain calm and politely disarm him when he's got a weapon capable of killing them is rubbish.
