    The rioters in Minnie didn't think so.

    In your post when I went "back a little in the thread" you seemingly questioned if it was accidental or intentional (nothing wrong with that), but then you closed with:

    The ballistics report will tell all.

    just like you did in the post I quoted. What "all" will the ballistic report tell? It won't definitively tell if it was accidental or intentional.

    You should grab a screenshot and make a funny meme.

    I see what your saying.
    Accidental or intentional who knows?
    As far as self inflicted it is apparent that is most likely the case.

    “Most likely”? What will it take to convince you it was “definitely”?

    Are these people actually wanting to be heard or are they opportunist looking to make a quick buck and just tear **** up?

    Some time you got too just call a spade a spade?

    The light is shining brightly especially in Minny yet you still got people take any opportunity to loot.

    Sorry but I just can't get behind trying to excuse something like this.

    I still don't get what you are not convinced of. What will the report show? Do you think it will show that some gun other than the one he had, killed him?

    Dude you are coming of as very pompous telling somebody why there city is the way it is.

    And yes it seems like you are justifying and condoning the rioting,it's not about chipotle is about looters and vandals who don't give a dam about the current issues.

    Cometswin is free to his own opinion and if I can defend him I don't think he's condoning the rioting. There are big differences between "condoning", 'justifying' and 'condemning'. He's certainly not condemning them and I think that is a big problem.

    In terms of mischaracterizing his quote I quoted it verbatim except for the part about Chipotle. I don't know how that significantly changes the character of it.

    I think he was initially condoning them and then backed of, I have had this discussion myself when the initial rioting was taking place,at some point we have got just say these looters are just opportunistic criminals and it really pisses me off when the argument is you are more worried about property than human life being used on somebody like you.

    At some point these anarchist and criminals need to be soundly rebuked there is no justification for what happened because of a false report.

    Again, I'm not trying to excuse anything. I think there will always be opportunists who use situations like this. I also think there is legitimate frustration which still doesn't excuse destruction.

    I fully agree. As I've been saying the looting isn't helping things and this case is more galling because it's false. The failure to unequivocally condemn it is feeding into the narrative that Trump wants to project.

    i stand with @rocketsjudoka
    your facts were accurate and you weren't speculating to force one's imaginary scenario and biased political agenda onto the board

    ie. you kept it real.
