many probably have a real mental illness and they cultishly brainwash young impressionable people
they're not, they're children, braniwashed children
who want to be heroes
and "change the world"
Imo few more incidents like this and donald trump is certain for 2 term
Also there will come time when police will descend on these ppl
Those innocent people getting attacked in Oakland by protesters is highly concerning. Its like Trump Supporters can’t meet up anywhere without worrying about a literal mob showing up to attack us. I’ve been putting off getting a conceal and carry, but I’m obviously going to need one if I plan to support Trumps 2020 run in public.
Also i wonder if proud boys could sue shaun king for slander
If they can, then they should.
He’s supposed to be a journalist, but It’s Going Down did a better job. That’s pretty pathetic.
Depends if they have some sort of membership
he's just doing it for attention
he knows better
@Deleted User If a gun is a deterrent, wouldn't it work better if people knew you had it? I seriously never understood concealed carry.
Not American, btw
You can’t open carry in my state, or I would @Kriiakulos.1644 . I agree with you.
Part of the idea of concealed carry is that no one knows exactly who is armed.
@Kriiakulos.1644 If you're open carrying, people know you're armed. There is a possibility that makes you more of a target than the people around you in some kind of situation.
Concealed carry means you walk softly and carry a big stick, on the other hand.
Think of it like vaccination. If you think that 10% of people in a room might be armed but you don't know which, it's more dangerous to charge in and start doing violence.
Nobody knows if you or the people around you could return their fire with your own, so it's actually more of a deterrent.
So the 10% protect the 90 by extension.
It's also less scary to random bystanders.
Well i think lot will depends on this midterms
Antifa isn’t nearly as bad here. Probably because of that. They’re in the cites, but I’ve seen little violence from them. Could be because we’re all armed.
Concealed carry also implies drawing it when threatened (but only when threatened)
I wonder which result would be better
If republicans win big time that could make them more desperate and aggressive
@Deleted User Where are you? It's probably a more factor of local strength and the likelihood they'd get away with it.
If dems win big time that could encourage them
A number of ANTIFA have been getting away with beating people.
So maybe if its a draw would be best huh ?
I’d rather not say. @pratel nothing personal
Like, there've been all of 6 people who got any kind of punishment over the Inauguration protests.
And the vast majority just got released.
California has been remarkably lax on punishing them.
That's 'cause California believes they're on "the right side of history".
There was a case where the defense attorney was more or less a member of antifa and all but threatened the jury.
Unanimous acquittal.
I saw an Antifa push a woman here. A proud Boy punched him out in response. Can’t say I disapprove. But that’s all I’ve seen across multiple protests . As far as numbers, the local militia that show up outnumber Antifa 10/1
That's probably the deciding factor then.
People will usually act out as much as they believe they can get away with. Barring those who are entirely ideologically possessed. If the law was applied justly you'd probably see a lot less violence from people looking for trouble. Like 90s NY where crime took a nose dive from Police just fining people for petty crimes and being seen as active.
