If he had been killed or even simply overpowered,
his firearm is now in the hands of the mob.
The fact remains that he was a trained carrier and he used restraint
Unfortunately, his action (or lack of it) will never be a topic and will never reach the ears of flyover America
WE are the ones aware and WE are the ones to pre-decide how WE would respond.
I'm an armed black guy escorting a scared elderly white woman in the face of a black mob of teens ... my reaction leashes have been loosed and I'm prepared .
THAT'S how I'd be thinking
Are you out of your mind?
The Memphis event happened this week. We are talking about the present, not the Crusades or the KKK.
Brings to mind that jingle many of us heard/recited a half-century ago:
3 against one is ...
When mobs, whether black or white, attack a badly outnumbered individual or individuals all the members of that mob should be sentenced to a minimum ten years in an adult prison. The only defense for these thugs should be they weren't present.
Maybe Memphis needs a good dose of Yellow Fever to decrease the surplus population.
Unfortunately, mosquitoes are not choosy in whom they bite.
That happened last night in Mississippi.
My post was not referring exclusively to mob attacks.
You can be just as maimed by an individual as by a gang.
And on the point you bring up. I recall that the MS13 gang has been known for this kind of attack. MS 13 members are not black.
people know where they're not wanted...people know the risks....
and yet we stupid people keep thinking we're invincible...
please....just stop going to these areas....stop making ourselves targets...
let the money drain begin...sooner than later, money talks and the cops WILL crack down on this violence...
I recall this incident. I thought they chased him onto an expressway, where he was hit and killed. Anyhow, totally reprehinsible.
When mobs, whether black or white, attack a badly outnumbered individual or individuals all the members of that mob should be sentenced to a minimum ten years in an adult prison. The only defense for these thugs should be they weren't present.
Agree with you here.
I just do not believe there are any groups of white people lynching black people at present. If there ever are, I hope they will receive swift justice. I hope they have no supporters rallying for their right to wear the symbolic "hoodies" of their brothers, but rather members of their race loudly condemning their actions.
Where are the black people condemning this recent lynching? It isn't even being reported in the US.
cowering in fear is not a good strategy.
removing the threat is what is required.
