The big picture just flew by you. It's the politicians, mayors, governors who clearly support these criminals who are totally culpable for months of looting, rioting, arson, death and destruction.
Fully aware of the commie dem politicians but this kid was part of a group of alleged adults.
Yes, the police need to be unleashed by their bosses (politicians).
I don’t miss that point at all and have stated it quite clearly numerous times here on FR.
However, I cannot and will not excuse any “adult” who would allow a 17 year old kid with an AR rifle to defend against a riot. Presumably, they left him alone.
In other words, he should not have been there in the first place and his “buddies” either set him up for failure or did not take care of him.
If you disagree that is your right. We all get to post our opinions and thoughts here and I am not afraid of opposing views.
