“During this power vacuum, militia? are arming to defend other peoples’ property, not setting out to shoot protesters.”
In the State of SC, you can only defend your property with deadly force. It is a gray area for your neighbor’s house.
The militia group in Kenosha raises alarms, something is off on them. They were there to protect property and to support the protestors. Jacob Blake stated that in an interview before the shooting.
Is this Militia group a Libertarian group? I have to wonder, a conservative militia group would not be there to support BLM.
I notice a lot of Libertarian mindsets here on the Free Republic are quick to condemn the Police. Are the Libertarians supporting BLM positions?
Are the Antifa/BLM factions using/exploiting Libertarians to be the boogeyman (Kenosha Militia Group)?
I have noticed my local Libertarian friends are anti-authoritarianism where the police are evil.
First off, the motivations of the people trying to defend the auto dealership and gas station aren't relevant. They may well have told the interviewers and the people trying to start fights with them that they supported BLM. The same way police officers may well say the same thing to defuse a tense situation. What police chief would go out at a press conference and say what they really believed if it happened to disagree with what is politically correct? Someone whose goal was to prevent violence and protect a business would be totally justified in saying their group is not opposed to the rioters. That's just common sense.
Stop with the disinformation.
