This is human nature in action, the inability for some to keep a moral check on their greed will always reap massive retribution.
    So this has nothing to do with with the death of George Floyd?

    Democrats really will take the opposite position of Trump, even if that means being pro-riot.
    Military should never be deployed on US soil to handle violent domestic situations.

    There have been many cases where civil authorities would not or could not control a situation in the US and the military was peacably used to address the situation quickly, safely and will little violence. And then there was Kent State.

    It's not that I want socialism. There is a reason we pay taxes for governance, it's so we can maintain a society where people don't have to resort to mob violence. It's inevitable to prevent riots when that government gives trillions to failed business and then tells the tax payer to use boot straps.

    All I can do is shrug, step aside and watch natures law take the place of failed human laws. We have decided that 630 billion is better spent on bombs than people.

I don't know about that, but he was methodical and deliberate in his actions.

    I saw that video, it is very weird. There is a later video where blunt man is walking with him like they were friends.

    Sure it does. The state decided that a counterfeit $20 bill has more value than a human life. The same state that funds ending 10's of thousands of human lives every year. When the state starts allowing for that, we're just counting down to the end of that society.

    If we can't manage to protect the most innocent and defenseless among us, there is no reason to give a fuck about the rest of it.

    For domestic situations, I don't think so.

    I also don't really count the national guard, so if you meant that then sure.
