    They are. I will heartily acknowledge that.

    • But your scorn seems more directed at the one who was chased, as opposed to the chasers.

      Anyway, he supposedly has been arrested for 1st degree homicide.

      • As far as the rioting going down in Kenosha, it's small potatoes compared to the hit the oil and chemical economy is going to take from Hurricane Laura. I just filled both cars at 1.99/gallon in S. FL. I expect gas will be well above $2.75 down here in 48h, more if you are far away from pipelines.

          I have no idea if he did something to earn being chased or not. I have no idea if the specific people he killed deserved death for what they did that night. But sure, I've cast more scorn on him. He's the one who actually killed multiple people. We'll find out soon enough if it's 100% defensible or not.

          • You chase me with a pistol, you’re going to get shot.

            An angry mob chases me and shouts “Let’s get him!” and I run and then you start hitting me with something while I am on the ground, I am shooting you there, too.

            No idea about the other guy.

                        What justice?

                        Antifa and BLM want an end to law enforcement officers. Who would they turn him over to?

                        Fact of the matter is, they wanted to chase him down, and at minimum, beat the crap out of him. Some of them were armed as well. Nothing is being said about that.

                        So, had the "vigilante" died by mob violence, I doubt that anyone would be complaining today.

                        Right?
