U.S. Riots of May 2020 over George Floyd and others - ITT: a bunch of faggots butthurt about worthless internet stickers

[HumanHive]

Shooter is confirmed member of the terrorist organization “Sons of Gamergate”. Charges are likely to be upgraded.

I can't help but notice how many of the photos of the armed armless guy are clipped or after he dropped the gun. Are they seriously going to try to pretend he wasn't armed?

People still recite the "on both sides" omissions as gospel from on high.

Most obvious case of self defense I've seen my whole life.

Also,

I'm not really a gun guy, but isn't that exactly what the 5.56 is supposed to do? It's a small round, about the size of a .22 but fired with so much velocity that it fragments into pieces when it hits a soft target like a human body.

They didn't just bring him in he's being charged with first degree murder

They literally can't charge him for that. First degree means premeditated - he had to have planned to kill him.

I mean he was pretty clearly disarmed.

 

[draggs]

They literally can't. fFirst degree means premeditated - he had to have planned to kill him.

They're trying to scare him into taking a plea bargain. Stand fast Kyle.

I suppose my counterargument there would be what happened after the last time the US had a major contingent of far-left in the political mainstream - the 80s, 90s, and 00s. I suppose the contention with that might be that the left is this time more entrenched and is facing generally weaker institutions in opposition, and thus can't be dislodged so easily. It further isn't running in opposition to a stronger monoculture, but rather has entrenched itself through pop culture as in effect being wholly synonymous with the culture of upper-middle-class elites.

My hope is that in so many people turning to the right so briskly, something snaps in the process and stirs the apathetic masses more thoroughly to one side than the other. Or, at the least, that some class of hitherto silent thought-leaders is roused from quietly observing to take some decisive political stance. It may seem like one is hoping for a shrouded savior or a faith in some platitude about peoples' ability to eventually snap back to a more steady state of being, yet I can't help but to hope for something like that over the alternative.

I'm someone more center-lefty who has fervently argued for the essential excommunication of progressives more and more over the years, because I don't see these policies and forms of activism as doing anything but emboldening a serious backlash to any idea that falls left of center on the whole. (Well, they've also made coastal urban cities complete shitholes, but that's separate.) The revolutionary posturing was somewhat easily overlooked pre-covid, as radicalism doesn't tend to root as deeply when economic conditions are fine; with covid in place and democrats eager to make the fucking thing worse, that's fertile soil for a series of putsches. By groups that are too at one anothers' throats in their desires to ever hold onto real power. So these retards will go out there, strip away a system that (largely) worked for all its flaws, and in its place leave a power-vacuum that an organized, ideologically homogenous group can capitalize on. And that's the best-case scenario for if these retards are able to keep up what they're doing; a perfect shitstorm dragging it further down distresses me.

It's wishful thinking at its core, but I don't know. Perhaps a more satisfying thing to wish for, regardless of the outcome, is that these scions of the bourgeois suffer grievously for the damage and misery that they've unleashed consummately on others and are hoisted by their own petard by the power vacuum that would create. Perhaps that would be more satisfying than their comeuppance from the late 60s.

Should know my posts well-enough to know I won't chide you for 'wishful thinking', especially as someone speaking from a centre-left perspective, I'm just here to politely remind you of the sociological reality we're living in - naiveté never served anyone well when bullets started whizzing, friendo.

FUCK AROUND
AND
FIND OUT

It's adorable how you think this is legitimate justice and not a Stalinist show trial with only one possible pre determined outcome.

 

[big ups liquid richard]

If there's a gofundme for that young fellas defense I'll contribute. Good on him.

never pay pig.

The question is, what was he trying to do? If his plan was to protect something, he should have been expecting to use force, including lethal force. If he was unwilling to do that, he shouldn't have gone in the first place.

He was an out of town (out of state too) guy who came in seemingly on his own with a gun. Possible boogaloo boy?

 

[Sheryl Nome]

Premeditation can be pretty fucking short, I think in a situation like this it could stick

its not 'planned' but rather merely consider the act and its consequences.

I think his self defense claim should prevail in a just world, but its easily first degree without it.

 

[Forgetful Gynn]

Like I said bro, they're going to find a shooty meme on his phone or computer or in his text/snapchat history. That'll be all the proof they need.

Frankly it's adorable how people still think the elections aren't all for show as well, but I digress.

Depends if they go for the angle that he went to the protest intending to kill 'someone'.
IANAL, but if they just try to push that he intended to kill a protester, does it matter about the specific person he shot?

Not necessarily AFAIK. One factor is that it allowed soldiers to carry more ammo, being lighter and less bulky than 7.62mm NATO that was being used in the 1950's.

Yes. Don't act surprised lol.

Why do you think it's taking so long to report on? They're struggling to turn a minor being beaten to death on the ground shooting in self defense then turning himself in into a white nationalist opening fire on a peaceful mob

 

[Ivan Shatov]

Pretty good round up of the videos. Everything arranged chronologically, few gaps in the video coverage.

Appears the kid was defending himself at all moments. The guy who got shot in the head was chasing him looking for a fight. He stuck around to call 911 and turn himself in, then you can see the mob preparing to kill him. Then there's the shootings.

So given everything happening, what are the odds that the car he was climbing into was the one he stole the keys to?
The one which, as people have claimed, had kids in it?

What are the odds that our humble jogger was kidnapping?

After listening to the 911 call, the mother called the cops because he had the keys. The kids had to sit in her car while the father was trying to beat her up, and that's when the cops arrived.

From what I gather, the cops shot him as was trying to kidnap the kids in the mother's car. They became hostages the moment he tried to climb inside.

The police did the right thing. Look like heroes to me.

 

[DeadFish]

If Kyle doesn't get off the Justice System loses any real meaning it had left in America. All respect for it will be lost and the country might as well not pretend it's not a Banana Republic anymore. We have video evidence of him being attacked. Any ordinary person would feel their life was threatened even prior to the riots that have been happening. This is a serious fuck up by the DA and will backfire on the entire country if Kyle is convicted.

Hopefully the 1st degree is a trumped up charge specifically so Kyle can get off but that's AF.

Seeing in real time how voting isn't a valid way out of this situation is freaky.

No there is no "soft" way to correct this. That includes voting.

I did say before if this goes Syrian style open civil war it will result in America becoming a pre industrial environment. The conflict will destroy the infrastructure needed to keep control and eventually america will fracture into multiple geopolitical entities.

Time isnt on the side of the corporate left cause they need technology and they need the infrastructure to keep control and project power. Rural america doenst need those things and it becomes a waiting game of who starves first.

These antifa fucks cant live in a post collapse world and will die off. Same goes for their corporate masters. Neither have the skills to survive a post collapse world. Yet here they are promoting stuff (such as riots) that will speed up the collapse. They are shooting thenselves in the foot.

If you despise the corporate left and wish to fight back all you need to do is minimize consumption and learn how to live a more off the grid, self sustaining life style. Best according to your situation any ways.

Once you do that just wait till things collapse.

That all you need to do to fight back. Do nothing and wait for this house of straw to fall.

There's someone in an antifag's yard and he wants the NLG to protect him, lmao.

Generally speaking yes, however muzzle velocity plays a large role in whether that fragmentation happens so effectiveness can diminish at range out of shorter barreled weapons especially. This of course happened at close range so...

Meat Target hit on the main consideration for the design though, which was logistical and as I have posted about before, was a case of "is it good enough?" and the answer given humans tend to be not much better armored than varmints is "yes".
