Reading that a few days later, I would have worded it differently. President Obama has made it clear that he supports BLM. A black man has been in the White House for eight years, and things are worse than ever.

Here's the thing... I support BLM and I really like cops. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

You are definitely not the only one.
What people tend to forget is that not all cops are the same.
Come to think of it, not all blacks are the same, either. Not all black protesters are the same, even.

Maybe stereotyping isn't such a great idea.

The conflating of black people lately is insane. BLM is a twitter movement basically. Not a structured organization... but if you hear the detractors speak, if you are black you are BLM. And the president is black, therefore as president, he is the head of BLM. This is what is being implied.

You didn't address the issue you raised, the issue I commented on, which is whether or not ordinary citizens should be allowed to defend themselves with deadly force. In the courts it is a "reasonable person" test. If a reasonable person would have thought his life in danger then he can respond accordingly. I'm not sure that that means waiting until one is actually physically attacked, but I doubt it. When rioters threaten people with rocks, bats, knives and guns a reasonable person would conclude it's time to go nuclear.

I addressed it.
The courts addressed it.
Many defensive handgun courses address it.

I gave examples of where people attempt to claim 'feeling in danger' have been proven wrong. I gave MY opinion of where the line is.

You can lead a Conservative Partisan to water but you can't make 'em think... ;)

Now answer my question- where are the myriad of videos that must exist of bonfires, attacked trucks, people drug into the street.... :peace
