thank you for the context of this photo, i’m seeing it everywhere and had no idea what it was

The couple maintains that they felt threatened and protesters had broken into their property. Evidence for that assertion is shaky:

Daily Mail Article (UK)

Washington Post Article

In my own opinion, the “I was scared” argument:

  • is used suspiciously often as ‘justification’ for whites to assault/kill blacks
  • says a lot more about the “scared” person than it does about the “scary” person

Any way you spin this, I question if someone with that high a fear/aggression response is a good choice for a career in law, let alone a seat on an ethics panel.

There’s a video of the encounter and it shows them actively pointing their guns at people who were just calmly walking past. I really can’t see how someone could view that calm video and claim that these people felt like their lives were in so much danger that it justified bringing out multiple guns.

When someone is a bigot, they’re usually a bigot in more than one way.

From the article: they also smashed the beehives of the JCC neighbouring their property that were meant for Jewish kids on Rosh Hoshana

Ah yes, because everyone knows, absolutely no ones’ lives or property are in danger until the entire city has been reduced to rubble.

Vandalism of business was already commonplace in a city where so much business was lost to gentrification, and the relationship between several major companies and its citizens already strained for very good reason. In fact, this isn’t even a downtown location, but a beloved bowling alley people were hoping to see reopen a couple years ago:

And here it is now:

Damage to inanimate things such as property is an inevitability when large numbers of people are angry together. It’s also undeniable that American law enforcement violates people’s rights every single day, people have protested that for generations without seeing it get better, and outrage over that is justifiable no matter whose bricks or plaster or linoleum gets caught in the crossfire. All media attention to “damaged businesses” is a distraction from what actually matters, on top of being ridiculously overblown.

When writing always remember… a character flaw is only a flaw until becomes useful. 

Is your protagonist manipulative? Well that’s awful… until they manipulate the antagonist into making a decision that saves the lives of their friends. 

Is your protagonist a skeptic? Well that’s not good… until someone tries to lie to them. 

Is your protagonist overprotective? That sucks… until someone they love is in danger. 

Is your protagonist remorseless? Well that makes them pretty unlikeable… until a hard decision has to be made.
