But you can not tell me the rights of the folk inside the CHAZ were not the same. You do not know if they carried to protect their homes and businesses. You do not know if the shootings were justified 'stand your ground' defences. You assume everyone there was a protestor fighting the cops.
Did some fight the cops? Undoubtedly. Do you know their reasons? We have heard in this thread how some will resist cops and military to defend their rights. Do the citizens inside the CHAZ not have those same rights? Where is any evidence ALL there were in the wrong? There is none. Just assumptions governed by bias.
Where did I say any of those things? I find it funny you keep saying I "assume" so many things when I never say those things. You are literally assuming you know what I assume. What, are you psychic and can read my mind even through a computer? Oh, or maybe you are being an arrogant know-it-all arse and acting like you know me when you clearly bloody don't. I'm gonna go with that second option, unless you wanna prove the first by writing down my mother's maiden name.
Folks can carry arms as much as they bloody want, so long as they do so legally. Wanna walk up and down your street with a pistol to stand guard? Creepy to me sure, but if it's legal where you live and you legally own that gun and are doing everything legally, go bloody nuts. Don't give a single damn if that person is a trump supporter, Biden supporter, white, black, Christian, or bloody bigfoot. Do things legally, do them all you want. That's all I care about. Is what you are doing legal? Yes? GO NUTS.
You can literally just google before and after pictures of the Chaz area. Considering how messed up it was after it was all over, no I don't consider that defending your neighborhood. I don't see how any rational person could call what they did defending your neighborhood. Hell taylor even pointed out, most folks weren't even from that area! Hey, what do you call when a group from another area, comes in, takes over, and declares that area as something new? Last I checked that's called in invasion. Or a conquering. But I'm sure it was all done for a good reason right? Those 2 folks who died deserved it right? The damages done to the area were justified right?
No. I might not know all the details. I admit that. Do you know all the damn details? No? Then how can you tell me I'm wrong when you don't even bloody know yourself? I can say this though. Based on the literal video and photographic evidence of the area after the event, I can safely say that it was worse off then before. So I can safely say that no-they did not defend their neighborhood, if it was even their own neighborhood to start with.
