    but worthless.

    I also really do not understand risky when he want to call out our
    military to shoot folks robbing a store during a "demonstration". The aftermath of such a slaughter would be unbelievable. I presume the
    women carrying babies would be shot too! And the children.

    Doesn't sound like risky.

    "Watts 1965" comes to my mind. I think violent riots can reach a point where the National Guard can be justified in shooting looters and rioters. No, I do not want the United States to become Tianeman Square, but civil violence can reach a point.
    Maybe you can change my mind, I feel you're a very reasonable person.
    I do believe "civil violence" is a good definition for looting ... until people begin to get hurt, however, looting (robbery) does not justify execution (IMO).

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_State_shootings

    What was happening at Kent State (IMO) was worse than unorganized
    looting ... there are two sides to the disaster at Kent State ... maybe
    the burning of the building and the growing mobs and the rocks and the possible danger set the scene for the shooting. Whether there was or
    was not a sniper with the students is questionable ... but something set
    off the shooting ... maybe it was or maybe it was not justified, but the Kent State actions were much, much worse than just looting.

    Actions by "looters" and more after Katrina in New Orleans resulted in
    the National Guard getting involved ... I was friends at the time with
    the Commander ... and his accounts were really enlightening. The
    looting was overwhelming and much of it was gang related. NOLA is a
    rough place normally and more so at that time.

    I am still wondering about why risky said the looting should be shot.


    You sound extremely confused, that's for sure. The burning and looting celebrating the George Floyd hoax in some locations was extensive and amounted to armed rebellion. An armed mass of arsonists and looters is far different from an individual arsonist
    or robber and since when is it unacceptable to shoot an armed robber or violent mob, anyway? Mass arson and looting are not a 'demonstration' and it's pretty obvious that I DIDN'T advocate shooting peaceful demonstrators which you seem to be trying to
    imply.

    I can't guess what, if anything, in my prior posting history here would make you think I wouldn't consider it proper to use armed force against a violent mob.

    That was the British Army method in Northern Ireland. In a mass mob, when shooting was necessary, the officer would order a specific person shot. Ideally, if they could identify a leader.

    This is a wild guess but maybe the hard-core looters are the ones carrying a 65" flat screen and the Pickle-excused mommy carrying baby formula AND her baby is a special exemption looter. I didn't notice any of the latter in the video coverage.

    A violent mob will not give a damn about troops that won't fire so what would be the point?

    You also need to elaborate on what is wanton about shooting a violent looter.

    Atlanta training center protesters charged with domestic terrorism

    Five people arrested on domestic terrorism charges in clash at Atlanta's 'Cop City' site
    'CNN — 
    Five people were arrested and charged with domestic terrorism in Atlanta on Tuesday after a clash between activists and law enforcement at a site set to be turned into a state-of-the-art training facility for police, state investigators said.

    The planned $90 million, 85-acre Atlanta Public Safety Training Center is to be built in a forested area of Dekalb County that used to be a prison farm. The proposed facility will include a shooting range, mock city and burn building, CNN has previously
    reported.

    Activists determined to stop the project – dubbed “Cop City” – have camped out in the forest’s trees and have said they do not plan to leave.

    On Tuesday, several police agencies entered the site as part of a joint operation to remove barricades that were blocking some of the entrances to the center, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said.

    “Yesterday, several people threw rocks at police cars and attacked EMT’s outside the neighboring fire stations with rocks and bottles,” the bureau said Wednesday. “Task force members used various tactics to arrest individuals who were occupying
    makeshift treehouses.”

    The bureau said police cleared the area of makeshift treehouses and later found explosive devices, gasoline and road flares.'

    You have switched from the police/soldiers shooting the looters to the individual "citizens" who are being threatened and robbed. Big giant difference. I certainly agree that the citizen can defend their homes
    and businesses with lethal resistance.

    I picture the scenario where some teenager (of course black in riskytard's mind) decides to go to a protest about a government agent murdering a citizen over $20 (later deemed by the courts to be a murder committed with "particular cruelty"). Things get
    a little out of hand, with some vehicle fires and clashes with the police and windows being smashed , and in all that chaos this kid falls victim to temptation and tries to grab a pair of Nikes from a broken store window. Riskytard wants him summarily
    executed by the military. What a twat. He should move to North Korea.

    Jeez, Justin Trudeau shut down an veritable army of truckers who had basically declared war on Canada and done $4 billion worth of damage, and as far as I know the worst thing that happened was someone got knocked down by a horse.

    I am talking about in terms of violence. Some got arrested, but I doubt any of them will face anything more than a slap on the wrist. That's just how Canada is. It's probably been 25 years since the Supreme Court declared we were putting far too many
    people in jail and prison (i.e. becoming too much like the US), and that incarceration should only be used as a last resort or in the most serious cases. Since then our incarceration rate has dropped to about 1/6th that of the US.

    No one said they were 'looters'. What is obvious is that they were violating civil order. But unlike the George Floyd/BLM looters they apparently complied rather promptly. Which is exactly why there was no reason to shoot them.

    I am still wondering about why risky said the looting should be shot.

    Still no comment ... your idea that when a mob takes over many blocks of
    a city, they should be confronted and not ignored, is spot on. Going in shooting, however, is not the solution.

    Doesn't sound like risky.


    "Watts 1965" comes to my mind. I think violent riots can reach a point where the National Guard can be justified in shooting looters and rioters. No, I do not want the United States to become Tianeman Square, but civil violence can reach a point.
    Maybe you can change my mind, I feel you're a very reasonable person.

    The real crime is the violation of civil order by a dangerous, violent mob, not an isolated theft or robbery. Other citizens have no obligation to tolerate wholesale repudiation of law and order. It is a gross violation of their own rights.

    And since when does someone not have the right to respond violently to an individual robbing them by the use or threat of violence?


    ~ You have switched from the police/soldiers shooting the looters to the
    individual "citizens" who are being threatened and robbed. Big giant
    difference.


    That wasn't a 'switch', it was an illustrative example.


    ~ I certainly agree that the citizen can defend their homes
    and businesses with lethal resistance.


    But a mob burning down businesses doesn't count? You aren't being the least bit consistent.

    There obviously WAS a fail since the local governments in some of those localities allowed violent mobs to rule the streets.



    ~ Why did you not comment on my comments below?



    ~ Because I didn't notice anything compelling about it and your characterization that it was worse was far off the mark. Recall the Kyle Rittenhouse incident. Businesses were burnt to the ground, members of the mob were armed, and the general public
    lived in fear of approaching the locality which was PUBLIC streets.

    Stop the pretense that I said what you're saying. I never said a group of 'protestors' should just be surrounded and shot.

    If a violent mob that is burning and looting and refuses to desist burning and looting after several clear warnings and less lethal dispersal techniqes fail to halt it - - live ammo should be employed.

    Well, when you correct your original post to add that ... I agree with you.
