Trump supports hit black churches in Washington DC.
Are we sure that's not just another Smolletting false flag? I'm told by a guy who was there a few weeks ago the Trump supporters were peaceful and it was ANTIFA that was the problem in DC.

Charged with murder in the 2nd degree.
Seems that an armed, unlicensed security guard should face charges for that as well.

Re: Protests - the next level?

Sen. Rand Paul: My wife and I were attacked by a mob — Dems would worsen problem by bowing to rioters
RAND PAUL CALLS FOR FBI ARRESTS, INVESTIGATION INTO 'MOB' HE BELIEVES 'WOULD HAVE KILLED US,' IF NOT FOR POLICE
His statement:
They say you know you’re over the target if you’re taking fire. Well, I’ve had more than my share in the last few years.

I was shot at by a lunatic Bernie Sanders supporter...

I was assaulted, had six broken ribs, and lost part of my lung...again by a violent leftist...

And now the same mobs that are burning city blocks, looting businesses, and killing people around the country attacked my wife and me.

I’m not going to let them intimidate me. I’m not going to let them win.

I hope you’ll stand with me today and say the same thing.

It’s funny because it’s not even about ideology for these mobs. Want to know how I’m sure? Among their obscenities and threats, they also screamed “Say Her Name” at me, a reference to the tragic killing of Breonna Taylor in Kentucky.

I’ve said her name as loudly and often as anyone. In fact, after meeting with her family, I authored the “Justice For Breonna Taylor” Act, ending the no-knock warrants that caused her death.

I am THE SPONSOR of the thing they wanted done. But of course, that didn’t matter.

It’s not what the current anarchy and violence are about. Legitimate protest has turned into indiscriminate mob violence, and that’s both sad and enraging.

I hope it all comes to an end soon, and local leaders will come to their senses.

But no matter what, I’ll keep fighting. I’ll keep fighting for justice. I’ll keep fighting for the bill of Rights.

I’ll keep fighting for you.

Please stand with me today
Rand is a physician and has been repeatedly targeted by extremists. God bless him and has family!

Thus, no force would be justified in the situation depicted in the video. Feigned compliance and/or leaving are better choices.

"In case it turns physical," your pistol is still not a good option. While "production of a weapon" as a threat of deadly force can be legal (TPC 9.04) against mere force, what do you do if the threat fails?

I think I understand your analysis here. To a third party this confrontation can appear to be a verbal provocation alone. I am wondering about the case where a victim stands up and actively seeks to leave the situation? We don't want to get in a fight if we can avoid it. Avoid the situation should be the first priority, correct? If the mob prevents the victim from leaving, that is unlawful restraint and initiation of force is it not? 100-on-1 is a disparate force, is it not? I would not pull a pistol unless I was justified in using it, but depending on the specific circumstances these mobs are creating extremely volatile situations.
When you bring up the 100 to 1 disparity it does make me think. How many will I get before they overwhelm me? The way they have that lady surrounded it appears that pulling a pistol to defend yourself could be futile. I still don't plan to go down without taking a few with me but it is not a situation one can fully expect to survive. I guess it just depends on how many scatter and if any of them close to you jump on you.

It is a very bad situation to find yourself in. Even armed.
Indeed. SGT Perry used his vehicle to flee to safety quickly. Kyle Rittenhouse ran and fought the Kenosha mile to get to the safety of the police line. Firearms are not talismans of supernatural protection.

Re: Protests - the next level?

As far as what to do in a face-to-face confrontation, Craig Douglas worked that stuff out years ago:

Practical Unarmed Combat

Review

The DVD is excellent, but you really need to practice this stuff with a partner.

If you are in a situation like Kenosha, you'll almost certainly want to be at an elevated position so you don't get swarmed.

The next level has arrived as riots in Kenosha and elsewhere have escalated to exchanging gun fire.

This is saying a man protecting the next car dealership was chased and tripped. Guy on top of him was shot in the head.

Lots of videos. Warning on one.

More. says two dead, one wounded. Shows stills from video of rifleman on ground firing at close range.
Graphic breakdown of various videos confirm these 3 shootings were all good shoots:

Ruark wrote: Tue Jun 16, 2020 10:06 am Here's another blood-boiling gem from Tucker. Seriously.... where is this going? E.g. NYC just dismissed its ENTIRE 600-man plainclothes division. LEGO stopped making toy policemen. Congress members are openly supporting CHAZ/CHOP. There's a movement to tear down the Jefferson Memorial and the Washington Monument.

Even more appalling is the cowardice of leadership. Even staunch conservatives are staying silent, instead of having the spine to stand up to these cretins. And where the heck are all those chest-thumping "citizen militias"?

I used to suspect that all the talk about "Civil War II" was mostly foil-hat prepper stuff, but now I'm beginning to wonder...

Always love to hear Tucker's take on the situation.

Honestly every indication is that BLM/ANTIFA agitators and rioters are simply the violent arm of the Democratic party... and the Dem politicians and rioters are working in concert to achieve per-defined goals. Eyewitness accounts show CHAZ is the creation of the Dem Mayor of Seattle. She kept the police and National Guard from doing a minimum and then ordered a withdraw. The propaganda media, Dem politicians, and street thugs attack anyone who resists. This is low intensity conflict and insurrection. We have to recognize that.

Don’t read this it will just raise your blood pressure.

Talks about slave patrols today.

Contrasts the open up protests in Minneapolis with the later BLM protests and how different the police actions were.
Browsing that laughable propaganda article reminds me of this:

Classic! I mean if all these drivers are going to get arrested/attacked for normal driving behavior... what did the police/rioter's think would happen?
