I'm still stuck on how we take it as given that 17 year olds can walk around in public openly carrying any gun, much less one that enormous. But I'm an old man and need to get with it clearly.
But it's a fucked up reaction to fucked up situation.
Here's how it plays now.
Cops shoot a guy.
Doesn't matter if they had a reason for it or not. What matters is, is the guy black?
If so, then we must have riots. And I get the anger. But we just accept riots, looting, burned out businesses. Assaults. Etc.
So after two days of rioting, with police unable or unwilling to police, is anyone surprised that people are there "armed" to protect properties and businesses?
