You are really asking me why I brought race in to it?
What part of my scenario did I include Kyle Rittenhouse?
Yes. You randomly made a comment about shooting a black guy out of absolutely nowhere
Do you think a bunch of paramilitary cops in armored vehicles would let a dood at a riot running down the street with an assault rifle just keep on running and go home if he was black?
If it was rainbowsandunicorns they would have shot him for sure

The liberal mob should have stayed home that night.

Nothing good really stemmed from that situation.

Protests are good. But when windows are broken, property is stolen or damaged, buildings are set ablaze, people are attacked, shots are fired... that's not a protest

Protesting is good.
HORRAY! You and I completely agree on your first 3 sentences!!!!
Getting to your 4th sentence, I say - depending on what is being protested, why it is being protested, and how it is being protested.
Then I sort of agree with your 5th sentence. It's probably still a "protest" by definition but I think we are in agreement it's a protest that has gone too far.
Your last sentence is subject to debate and interpretation. Like I said, to me - it depends on what is being protested and why - and to what extent.
I live in a city where a "protest" often includes the disruption of traffic. People might say that's just an inconvenience but near why I live it can be the difference between life and death when an ambulance can't get someone who is having a medical emergency to the hospital.

The national guard and police were not doing anything to protect the town. When gov doesn't do their job, then ordinary people need to. When gov doesn't do their job to inform people about covid shots, then other people need to. Notice, it's the same people who trust authorities 100% that hate this kid for being an individual who did the right thing.

Probably not

When something is a statistical fact. It can't be called ignorance. There is nothing made up or uneducated about it.

But yeah I know.. it doesn't support "the narrative"

Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

catch-all for dumb takes intentionally leaving out context and misrepresenting

Lollll. That was the dumbest comment I've seen in awhile. Rainbowsandunicorns means well but holy shit
His comment was funny, but I actually know one friend who went to the pubs in England one night. He left his final pub to head home, when he suddenly saw a huge dude running at him at full speed. My friend is a pretty big dude, but he was about to defend himself from what looked like a confrontation from this larger man. The man then said, "you forgot your wallet".

Now, would that happen in an environment of anarchy where thugs are doing their thing? Not likely.

Another fact that doesn't support the narrative... the percentage of police arrests that end in a fatal shooting is really low for all races, but its about the same percentage of arrests:fatalities for each race respectively

You're right, a thug would just keep the wallet and exit the other direction.

Is it a fact Black people are more likely to be killed by the police than white people?
I'm asking because it seems you may be implying that's not true.

Not by much. The odds of anyone getting killed by a police officer are really low. The idea that cops are just out there gunning down black guys is a false rhetoric
