It turns out the guy threw a plastic bag--not a molotov cocktail. [wsfa.com]

Yikes!!

This video shows people chasing after the guy, he falls, and they attack him. They get shot. Looks like self defense to me. He also walks towards the arriving police with hands up to surrender.

@pnw1234 That's when he was running from his first shooting. The people chasing saw it happen and were trying to stop and disarm him.

@WilyRickWiles Looks like they were attacking him in both cases. See the twitter videos I posted above. If you try and disarm someone you might just get shot.

@pnw1234 I've seen the videos. In the first case, the brawler guy was chasing him and may have thrown and missed with a molotov cocktail. Then he shot the brawler in the head. From that point forward, it looked to all observers like he had just murdered someone. He fled the scene, at some point people followed in pursuit, he tripped, people tried to disarm him, and he shot multiple people. Different circumstances, both trigger happy.

It's inevitable that rioters are going to be killed. At this point, many will be killed before things return to normal. It's been allowed to go on far too long due to the inaction of leftist officials in Minneapolis, Seattle, and Portland.

Now, the useful idiots are being herded into areas with little tolerance for their nonsense and the killing has begun.

They need to get smart very soon. The world isn't Portland.

@Triumph There was no rioting in this situation.

@Triumph Good timeline here: [jsonline.com]

@WilyRickWiles Antifa was attacking people like they've been doing for years. Somebody fought back. No rational people are shedding tears about the outcome.

@Triumph Funny how all the victims were locals and the perpetrator was an out-of-state youth police cadet who didn't know anyone on the scene.

@WilyRickWiles Oh well.

Turns out it wasn't a molotov cocktail. It was a plastic bag. [wsfa.com]

Their leadership is failing them. All city officials should be getting some castle laws passed ASAP!

@CharliePrime I believe, that if we could investigate the backgrounds of many of these politicians as students, we would find they were hip-deep in radical organizations, such as Antifa, when they were students. Their true loyalties lie with the rioters, not with America.

The authorities basically deputized them.

@WilyRickWiles True. When you arrest people and let them go without charges the next morning, that's worse than not arresting them at all. It shows them they are immune from consequences. At least if you didn't arrest them they wouldn't know for sure.

@Augur2748 No, I mean they were coordinating with the cops.

@WilyRickWiles Do you mean the armed civilians trying to defend businesses were coordinating with the cops? Or, the rioter were, or the politicians were? (Just trying to be sure I know what you mean)

@Augur2748 The armed people.

Appropriate force... like a semi automatic & some sound cannons. Lol

@TheRealAlyZ Sometimes appropriate force is a loud voice and a raised fist; sometimes it's lethal.
