Aus was like the second most armed first world country before they did their massive buybacks. I wouldn't be surprised if there are still a shit load of guns on the streets in Aus. Not as many as America obviously.

Any street level drug dealer is well armed.
We have had ambushes set up to murder police.

"the left" doesn't exist as a specific person, group, or set of ideals. It would be me akin to saying "if the right tries to justify police violence that indicates a broken moral compass by any sane person's standards" because Ghot is doing exactly that in this thread. Still, I wouldn't actually be talking about a group that actually exists. I'd just be talking about an imaginary boogeyman I've made up.

Unfortunately, the business owners and other citizens aren't totally uninvolved, and that's the shitty part about living in society. You become at least partially responsible for your public servants and for being vigilant to make sure that when they do something wrong you hold them accountable.

How exactly are business owners in, let's say, Arizona involved in any way with what happened in Minnesota?

Quote (Thor123422 @ May 31 2020 05:58pm)

Because the issue isnt isolated. Weve seen this kind of thing happen everywhere in the country.

Quote (TritonV8 @ May 31 2020 06:00pm)

That is the most faulty logic I've seen in a while. That's equivalent to people being robbed at gunpoint across the U.S. (with one of the robberies happening next door to you) and then me setting your house on fire in protest because you couldn't stop your neighbor's robbery.

Its not like that at all lol

Like theres no similarity at all.

Quote (TritonV8 @ May 31 2020 06:06pm)

It's exactly like that. I haven't seen a better example listed, but feel free to provide one please. I still haven't seen a single valid justification for looting, only vague generalizations that have nothing to do with the business owners.

No, seriously. If that's your takeaway then you just need to step back and take a few breaths before continuing.
