I feel that mischaracterizes it. We don't point to the criminal histories as proof they should die. We say that footage shows the only victim present was Kyle himself, and the criminal histories demonstrate they were habitual victimizers.
i dunno, when we were talking about it originally way back when, you in particular mentioned their criminal histories as proof they should die. ewerd and i disagreed. i remember it quite well because i thought it was disturbing.
kyle was a vigilante who had even less business being there than the protesters who also had no business being there. if he and the other vigilantes were not present, the only people the protesters could antagonize are the trained and equipped police.
a skateboard is hardly a deadly weapon.
The sadness for me is that he's out on bail while the innocent victims are dead.
If you want to talk about breaking the law and facing consequences, examples of this and the like of Dylan roof are prime examples of why people are protesting the disparity of treatment between white and black people.
