Thats not the best breakdown . Especially at the end where he tries to justify Kyles actions with the arguement " protesters have been beating people to death these past few months" . Which is consistently been a narrative on social media that odten gera removed because this has been proven a false narrative .
The closest thing to those remarks was a man in Dallas was severely injured trying to protect his business but then chased proteators down the street with a sword.
They also try to portray that narrative because of events currently happining in Portland . In Portland right now it **seems** police have given an unofficial blessing to militias to take over the handling of protesters in some situations. The tactics there are when groups like the Proud boys( White supremacy group) show up the police will with draw back from the area . The proud boys show up with Aluminum bats and will start brawling with protesters. Now this has been a problem for a few reasons. These groups have been seen and filmed interacting with the police in the same manner that Rittenhouse earlier in the evening before the shooting on nightly basis in some cases. The next controversial peice to this tho is The proud boys have as part of their mantra that cops should be killed and tortured . The optics of that alone has been troubling as it appears the cops would rather the company and * Unofficial * help of white supremacy militias that want and have tried to kill cops in the past. I touched on how in the past there is a deep connection with police getting and asking for assistance from white supremacy militias.
Its troubling to see history unfold exactly as it has before.
People protest peacefully to start, then police instigated violence, that sparks more protests, heads of government start to classify protestors as violent criminals ,that sparks further police, that causes greater protests, unfortunately when mass mass gatheringa happen it generally dissolves in parts of the protests into rioting . Rioting happens whether It's mass protesting or mass celebrations for some reason humans turn into animals in mass gatherings. Then rioting and protestors feel the need to protect them selfs from police so they can practice there first amendment rights. The militias then show up. Then the real violence starts . Then the sides fight it out just long enough that the govermnet eventually enacts juat enough changes to appease the protestors to get the violence to stop before the violence get completely steered towards the government. Then theres a time of peace where the oppression of a minority group until again protests start again and the cycle repeats itself.
This is rinse and repeat throughout American history. It's all the American system really knows. This is how there Country was founded . Oppression lead to protesting lead to government suppression which lead to arming the masses for self defense which lead to a full out war.
This has been a 245 year old cycle and just this issue alone of Black Lives Matter has almost been an issue for just as long. With the same results everytime in the last few hundred years of bringing up the issue of mistreatment of Afican Americans.
The admenments for 1 and 2 are not a coincidence.
