    Here's the thing. There is absolutely no reason why you can't avoid riot crowds. It's totally doable. I've done it with almost no effort.

    So yes, there is zero rational reason to be careful of Antifa or BLM as long as you don't get a high horse boner and flock to these places with a rifle and your plate carrier dumping gasoline on a fire.

    Everybody is going to get the Covid at some point. Covid-19 mainly kills offf the old and sick. It's doing exactly what the Chinese designed it to do.

    I'm referring to the ideolgical culture war. A lot of my right wing former peers and friends brag about being prepared to take out "libtards" in a hypothetical civil war.

    Mr. Literal strikes back.

    You can check for yourself to see how many people have been badly injured or killed in these riots. Not to mention people who have lost their income due to their businesses being bburned to the ground.

    Look these rioters are dangerous, best way to deal with these cowards is to bring the violence to them. Then the riots would end in short order.

    I'm not talking about the peaceful protestors here.

    BTW, don't these rioters have jobs and shouldn't they be at home in bed?

    You shouldn't have to avoid them since they shouldn't be occupying the streets to begin with. You're really going to be upset if Trump wins and beings in the national guard to stop the lawlessness

    He loves the gun. He worships the gun. The gun is meant to kill, and the killing he celebrates. Glory is coming for many guns will be killing.

    Guns are great. God is a gun. God is great.

    I don't want a civil war - I've never fired anything more than a pellet gun in my life. I'm not a gun nut and abhor violence.

    The Trumpsters like you are itching for it and will provoke it. White nationalists have been talking about a race war for decades and this is what they have wanted. Do you think they are shipping MAGA clowns to the cities to confront protestors with guns because they want peace???????

    You know better, you said it yourself - bring it on! You can't wait to pump some lead into liberals and darkies in order to "defend your family"

    From what I can tell, many of them are young folks so likely many of them do not have job. Which might also mean that some of them are acting out against economic inequality.

    I’m not sold that these riots are so dangerous that they deserved violence retaliation. They aren’t widespread, there haven’t been much of any killing, there isn’t that much property damages (I don’t think they approach even the Rodney king riot they cost billions) and they do tend to die down on their own. Personally, I feel perfectly safe at home, in my neighborhood, in my city, in this country. I would bet that 99.9% feel the same way.

    Bringing violence to them? The first problem is who is them? You have no concern with the peaceful protesters but protests itself are chaotic. Brining violence to these protesters event is a risk to increase violence. The case of the 17 years old is still muddy and that’s one example of how chaotic and how things can get out of control. 2nd, if you use violence against people that you disagree with, that is similar to Antifa who feels they need to attack groups they disagree with. Two side of the same violence coin. The result is likely more violence. Instead of a few deaths that have occurred over month, now there is an increased chance of more death - the very thing you fear. A reality that hasn’t happen might just become more likely with more violence. As I said these things tend to die down - and the recent killings were due to clashes of opposite sides violently against each other. More violence isn’t a solution but a cause.

    Facts and reality are important especially when violence is involved - so yes, I definitely think being grounded in literal facts is very important for clear understanding and appropriate actions.

    Good to know.

    Before China put a plague on the world the economy was stronger than it's ever been. Lowest unemployment in history.

    You don't think Trump can do it again? The economy is already showing signs of bouncing back.

    No they designed it to kill the old/weak. Hurting Trump's re-election bid was a bonus.

    The Chinese are evil.

    Inequality?

    Most people start at the bottom when they are young and work their way up.

    Violence is the only thing these people understand. Looks like you're fine with lawlessness in the streets. Hoping this goes away is burying your head in the sand. We will have to agree to disagree on this.

    If it wasn't an election year this would already be handled.

    I don't want violence but violence is already on the streets. Violence is the only thing they understand.

    Why the racist last comment. I could care less about the color of a person's skin when it comes to lawlessness in the streets.

    So Trump's denial strategy was actually political suicide?

    Yep. I carry a revolver in my car and I've gone hunting once or twice; definitely below my Arkansan peers as far as lifetime gun use. So I know plenty who have a decent collection of them, generally because they're country boys and it's fun to shoot in the woods. But every now and then people have an alarming fetish/fantasy about it. Humans don't really seem to truly appreciate the destructive power of a firearm. If you have an addiction to weapons, I argue it's bad for society. It was a major error to continue to produce them (at least handguns) for civilian use after the 1800s. But, alas, here we are.

    On a serious note, if you really believe that this is the beginning of a war and that large groups of people are going to be scattering across the country in mobs and taking over; then you need to get the hell out of the country because if that happens the entire economy will collapse, the police force and military will collapse (of will kill millions of people getting the country under control) and you and your guns will not save your family from mobs of people.
