Armed store owners in Santa Monica, California are rising up against violent protesters by standing guard to defend their businesses from attack, according to reports. Fox News LA reporter Bill Melugin reported Sunday that some store owners are being forced to stand guard to protect their property. Outside the “Helen’s Bicycles” store, two men were seen guarding the front while another stood atop the building's roof brandishing firearms.

Koreans? Would have to be because I don’t see white middle or conservative America taking shots at the protestors. The Koreans? They’ll shoot if they have to.

OH NO brandishing firearms.

What if some looters get shot that would be terrible.

Neon Nettle appears, from the outside, to be a single person writing under multiple pen names — the site uses several different bylines, but all share similar linguistic and syntactical quirks. It seems to monetize via recirculation boxes run by the company Revcontent, a content recommendation service similar to Outbrain. It has over a half million fans on Facebook, and its stories are a mixture of factually true tabloid stories (“Naked Man Launches Attack in Phuket Airport After Overdosing on Viagra”) and astoundingly fake ones (“Justin Bieber Shapeshifts Into Reptile at Airport Causing MASS PANIC”).

Please stop using this fake news website run by leftists to make conservatives look stupid.

They were interviewed last night on NBC 4, brave men God Bless them..then they went back to the news station and news anchor Colleen Williams(I bet her once, nasty full of herself woman) said “I remember this from 1992 when store owners protected their businesses with guns, I just want to say we dont condone that” seriously, let someone go into HER house and steal her stuff and see how she likes it

We had armed militia patrolling our streets last night. There was a time when I wouldn’t have approved, but local police are hamstrung by corrupt politicians and we have to take steps for our own safety. The government has, again, defaulted on the social contract to protect the public. The second amendment hasn’t been this important since the days of the Wild West.

During the Rodney King riots, Korean lives didn’t matter.

If the government refuses to protect your property from unlawful actions, the 2nd Amendment will.

With all the mayhem and mass destruction, I am surprised that no one got shot and killed.

When a person guards a bicycle store:
1. These aee not the bicycles you would find in walmart.
2. It would be prudent and reasonable, “to brandish your firearm”. You think they would pass by if you stood there concealed carry?
3. The so-called “protect and serve” police, may give the rioters their knee, as they did in NYC.

So you’re saying Justin Bieber didn’t shapeshift into a lizard?

Bummer, I was about to become his biggest fan.

“Bring on the roof Koreans!”

That stockpile of old $90 SKSs came in handy to pass out to residential and business owners for those rooftop Koreans.

“We had armed militia patrolling our streets last night. “

All police forces have been conditioned to respond to PC, which is, essentially a voice from the ether, for almost two generations now. They are helpless in the face of this onslaught. They’re afraid to use any real force. One cop last night learned that he can’t pull his gun.

If it comes down to armed citizens it’s going to get ugly fast. The voice from the either will direct cops to come after US. And they WILL.

Most haven’t flashed to it yet but we the people are trapped between the cops and the rioters. BOTH have no compunction about using FORCE against us...

YeahIwouldn’tworryboutit

Blue cities, blue rioters, blue problem.

The riots are just another proof of Leftism’s top-down, through and through failure.

It’s a vicious, repeating cycle of personal irresponsibility which results in failure, resentment and hatred of oneself and the world.

Nobody cares about Blue worlds self-inflicted problems.
