(2,086 posts)Now your objection to the phrase I successfully supported is that it's redundant, since it's actually a true statement.
Perhaps you should whine about that to the poster that originally made the statement.
But, to rebut your mis-targeted "sour-grapes" post, sometimes things need to be put into perspective. Besides being the primary purchasers of firearms to defend property, white men are also known to run shady businesses in minority neighborhoods. Does the phrase "Slumlord" mean anything to you?
And before you quote the misleading posts showing one single photograph of Asians posted on a rooftop, let me point out a that it's only one photograph of a group of non-whites, supposedly an Asian business owner and employees/family and or gun-club buddies. The scenario supported by these posters plays thus: armed men on a rooftop prepared to shoot into a crowd of protesters on the chance they can single out an alleged "looter" in that crowd and execute him/her without due process, but without endangering any lawful protester. This in a protest of a killer-cop's murder. So, those posters' response is too justify more unlawful murders.
I have real difficulty understanding a progressive that aggrandizes vigilante murder endangering citizens enjoying their right for peaceful assembly. How the fuck is that in the least honorable? It sure isn't lawful and those lynchers should be ordered to disband by the proper authorities, except they're too busy trying to instigate riots and intimidate journalists.
