Bolded part <<<<<<THIS. 

The whole thing is a mess gone sideways.  The black lady & daughter didn't have to make a production and the mother shouldn't have gone behind the car, or hit it.  The white lady should have stayed inside.    Ought not have exited with gun.  And what kind of person stands there asking "are you going to shoot me?"  in such an unflustered voice?

Stay in the car.   Don't fuel the fight.   

A week or so I accidentally bumped into a lady at Publix while shopping.  I immediately apologized,  almost instinctively, really.  No harm no foul.    No excitement.   

The media, of course, are accepting the "victims'" version of the story, without any question. This report totally glosses over the fact that the "victims" attacked the white couple's car and blocked it from backing out of the parking space.

White lady's gun handling, and handling herself in general was superb.

full vid i think
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcAJ2cLXN98

not superb, she gets out, racks the slide like she is on an episode of "24".
superb handling means one in the pipe and not arguing with morons.
husband was not helping either.
they were trying to reason with unreasonable people.
its like trying to tell the palestinians and israeli's to hold hands and sing kumbya

edited to add, the white couple - i do not think they were entirely unjustified - just no street smarts at all - they should have just let the idiots yell.
you can insult back without getting the cops called, cops are always called when the suburban folks pull guns.
i would have driven away while reminding them they're dumb

 I always park so i drive forward to leave a spot, "tactical parking".
I've already considered being blocked in, something I thought about and devised plans for.
They carry unloaded guns - which indicates a mindset I cannot abide by.
Carrying unloaded guns people imagine that merely displaying the gun will force people to acquiesce.
 It didn't and doesn't work that way, a lot of people wan't to keep on yammering at the people pointing guns at them.

It would have been better to get on the phone with 911, and slowly back out anyway, telling dispatch you're scared of these people and are leaving .
even stupid ghetto dwellers get out of the way rather than get run over.

these folks carry guns, unloaded guns, they believe guns are magical talismans that make people obey.

they got their gun skills from TV and liberal hollywood not from Clint Smith or Jeff Cooper

Protestors in Atlanta killed an 8 year old girl whose family inadvertently drove into the protest area. Multiple shots from the crowd struck the car and killed the girl. Like the comments say, why isn't this top news in the MSM? This was the first I heard about it:

I say again, there should be a standing "shoot on sight" order for all protestors blockading public transportation routes.

wow, this just took a turn

Quote
New information has surfaced in the Breonna Taylor case claiming the city targeted Taylor’s ex-boyfriend to bring in a new, large scale development.

The lawsuit filed on Taylor's behalf was amended Saturday stating the investigation into Jamarcus Glover was initiated as way for Mayor Greg Fischer to leave behind a "legacy" in the West End.

Quote
After the date of that presentation, the lawsuit claims, Glover began being targeted, residents evicted, and homes, purchased by the city, demolished. But, there were still lingering residents, such as Glover, that remained as an obstacle for the project.

Reminds me a little of "The religion of Peace" If you disagree with them they'll *expletive deleted*ing kill you.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

The Federal government has (rightly, IMO) denied "disaster relief" to MN for the riot damages. If a governor wants to virtue signal and let the rioters run rampant, then the state gets to be responsible for that. I feel bad for APS members and other MN residents who get stuck footing this bill, but it's clearly a state caused issue.

The most logical reply in the whole bunch was, "Maybe they can ask their Good friends at Black Lives Matter to float them a few million to repair the damage."
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I agree with him on this but I would set up a group to talk to the over 1500 business harmed by this and maybe find a way to help them while telling the sate and local government tgft. If it was anyone but Trump it would look good trying to help those mostly minority business.

Might be better to help them move and set up business in the suburbs.  Since they de-funded the police there, it ain't going to get better.

That's true or talk to them about moving out of state like some others there and Washington state have.
