I think being stupid is being mad and lashing out at the president who offered 500 National Guard soldiers but was turned down by the Dem governor.iluvpoker said:AlexNguyen said:This is the America we have so long as Democratic politicians refuse to enforce law and order in their cities and states.

This isn't the America that I grew up in. Trump needs to figure out how to control this better. If we keep letting these sparks fly around our country, then we will have a coast to coast wildfire engulf the USA. STOP the nightly riots!
STOP being stupid. I am angry with the Dumbocrats!!!! But expecting the enemy to solve our problems doesn't seem smart.

This isn't on Trump. This is on the side that won't condemn this. Stop being obtuse and irrational.
Stop being stupid. He is president of all states, not just red states. There are people who voted for him living in these cities. Quit expecting the dumbocrats to do the right thing.

Every republican in America would condemn both the rioters and the folks trying to play cop if asked. No democrat would condemn these rioters, and they never have.
Then why would he be there armed? It seems he may be on shaky legal ground of "defending a business" that's not his. The prosecution will paint him as a vigilante looking for trouble, not some hero defending innocents.ballchain said:
It appears they've doxxed the shooter on Twitter (I won't do that here), and it appears he is:
1. Very young (early 20's, tops)
2. Very "Blue Lives Matter"
3. Proudly displays his AR-15 platform rifle
4. Likely not from Kenosha, or WI
5. May be an EMT
6. May have been in some sort of law enforcement type program for youths/young people
ETA: It appears he and a group of other armed individuals were on rooftops a la Rooftop Koreans, but came down into the crowds for whatever reason.
The shooter described himself as an EMT and offered assistance to injured protesters.
Trump could just unilaterally send in the national guard. Of course that would just cause other problems. It's really no win when you don't have local leadership committed to the law and order cause. In many ways it would be similar to overthrowing a foreign regime without a clear local leader ready to step in.AlexNguyen said:This is the America we have so long as Democratic politicians refuse to enforce law and order in their cities and states.

And then he starts to attack the guy with the rifle again. Matter of a picture not capturing all of what happenedballchain said:

Do you recall all the outrage not 3 weeks ago for federal enforcement in Portland? Trump was "literally Hitler", again.
The Governor is primarily responsible. Any action from Feds outside of federal jurisdiction is a problem until it's requested.
I don't care about outrage from the left or anything fake news has to say! Do you?
Let's bring law and order to our country. Quit expecting the left to do it.
Correct. We see the no-win situation Trump is in as evidenced by an irrational poster just above. I think he is doing this correctly, letting the local and state officials "control" the situation on the ground but offer them every support he can. They just need to accept it (yeah, I know the Democrats really think letting the riots and violence happen is important instead of supressing it and being accused of more police brutality) instead of falling to their terminal TDS.MaxPower said:Trump could just unilaterally send in the national guard.

Anyone want to take a crack at answering? Really seems like this kid is going to be in a lot of trouble, esp. if he's from out of state and not just another city in WI.ballchain said:

Someone needs to call the fashion police on that guy, but seriously who tucks their jeans into their boots like that?ballchain said:
Interesting leads...
1. At least one of the armed individuals was also at a Virginia protest.
2. Some of the armed individuals are Pro-BLM
3. Some may have advocated for attacking police stations, but not regular businesses
Blame Trump for the riots. Blame him for going in and "stopping" the riots.iluvpoker said:JB99 said:iluvpoker said:redsquirrelAG said:iluvpoker said:

There are plenty of citizens who DID NOT vote for the Dumbocrats! Would you have the same let it burn attitude if the mob burned down Houston, DFW, Austin and San Antonio? Those are run by Dumbocrats! Should all these citizens be subjected to lawlessness just to satisfy your stick your head in the sand philosophy?

1. No one should cheer this loss of life. Even if it is self-defense, it is still tragic.
2. This is on the WI governor for not stopping the riots. When there is no law enforcement, there is anarchy, and this is the result of anarchy.
