Because this shits normal
But we are all cons and all tribal
He is 12 years old. He shouldn't be holding any political signs. He should be riding his bike with his friends or learning a few household skills.
So it's okay for adults to attack him? He isnt allowed to be interested in politics or support a president?
Okay so Caskur is offended that a 12 year old took an interest she doesnt think he should take but not that a grown adult attacked him.
I seriously cannot believe how many fucked up people hang out here who excuse illegal and abusive behaviour simply because they dont personally like what that person was doing.
Reality doesn't work like that. No one is entitled to assault someone.
This bad logic is the same as the "Kyle Rittenhouse shouldnt have been there, so he didn't have a right to defend hinself" which is wrong, and the "Well Secoriea Turners mom shouldnt have driven down that road"
No......there is no excuse for violence, and if someone attacks another person that person has a right to defend themselves. People do not get a pass to attack kids.
It doesnt MATTER that you think he should have been riding his bike. That is an idiotic, lazy way of thinking.
We should be educating and encouraging our kids to participate civilly in democracy. I'm sure that kid also rides his bike and does other things, but in America we do not physically attack people for different political stances least of all children who are taking an interest in their country.
What you just said, discouraging kids from learning and getting to take part in things is probably why we have overgrown spoiled brats who think violence is preferable over civil discourse.
It is the responsibility of adults to manage their own behavior and take responsibility over themselves. A concept I've noticed is beyond you.
He was a minor illegally carrying an assault riffle dimbulb. He should have been home with his family no ifs or buts about it. It is not the job of pizzafaced 17 year olds to self deputize and run around brandishing assault riffles in violent mobs faces..... duh!!!
It wasn't an assault rifle, it isn't illegal for 17 year olds to have rifles, he was a fully trained EMT, lifeguard, and in a police cadet styled program.
He also had finely honed self preservation instincts and was a diligent and measured marksman.
The US isn't Australia.
If he was standing in front of his own family home and gunned down a maurauding mob, I would agree with self defence but I stand by my original comment. See what happens in court. You'll have to wait and see.
He'll get off unless civil rights and justice don't matter anymore...
