They think they deserve the anger, because being angry over injustice makes them feel good about themselves.

Instead, this was a naive kid trying to do some good getting attacked by three violent protestors one of which was crazy. In fact, the world is just slightly better than people in this thread think it is. But that doesn't give them the self satisfaction of being angry and righteous.


I think that on this forum this is the central misunderstanding. Some people think that brining a gun to a riot is trying to do some good, and others think that it is criminal.

Of course there are some people trying to make this is political as possible but that is the nature of internet discourse unfortunately.
