Watch the video from all angles. There is no way to defend your position if you watch the actual footage of what happened.

If the Right does end up defending this, I don't see how they are compatible with the USA that I was taught to believe in my whole life.

  • Don't bother interacting with the other guy. He's a known troll that comes to every discussion about ICE and tries to put the blame on the victim, and then rants about Obama for some reason.

    This guy is in full support of the recent ICE murders. Moderation still hasn't banned the guy, of course.

    • There's no incentive for moderation to take action as long as it aligns with their "curious discussion" initiative, regardless of how disruptive they are to the forum as a whole. It's basically sealioning.

You have the right to carry. Period end. Full stop. Exercising your constitutional right is not "looking for trouble."

  • If someone is going in to a situation where they know there are armed riot police, armed federal agents, armed and agitated protestors, and several people have already been unalived, I would call them nothing but "suicidal" to carry their own weapon into that situation. Suicidal. Even when concealed and unused. Suicidal.

    Of course they would be suicidal to go into that situation unarmed, as well. But carrying a weapon would be double-plus-ungood and guaranteed to make them a target for unaliving, sticking out from amongst the crowd bearing rocks and sticks or even Molotov cocktails.

    • The man was a Veterans Administration ICU nurse who cared for sick veterans that was helping a woman that ICE pushed to the ground and then used chemical weapons on. There are quite a few doctors giving testimonials to this man's character at the VA.

      The right will tell you that an awful/chaotic world is one where a male ICU nurses helps a woman pushed to the ground and sprayed in the face with less lethal weapons by government jackboots wearing masks.

      The right will tell you that a sane/reasonable world is one where that man is extra-judicially murdered and the woman taken into government custody.
