It is cultural appropriation for a European to own a dog.
If I'm following his non-logical "logic" then anyone who cannot trace their ancestry to either Eastern or Western Eurasia is racist if they own a dog, because those are the regions of the world where dogs were first domesticated. In other words, it is WRONG to share inventions and ideas beyond the geographic area where they were first discovered / developed. Kind of an extreme anti-free trade argument. But it's not just wrong. Benefiting from anything that did not originate in your specific neck of the woods actually makes you a racist. By this standard, pretty much every single person on the planet is a racist.

But back to dogs specifically, does he realize that people originating in one of the 2 "allowable" regions had white skin? In the other region they would be modern-day Asians. Notably, the major ethnic groups that did not originate in these "allowable" areas are black and hispanic folks. Even his crazy "logic" does not support his conclusion that all white people should give their dogs to People of Color (POC). It's actually the opposite. Every POC should give their dog to a White or Asian person who can trace their ancestry to Eurasia.

Portland rioter who allegedly assassinated a Trump supporter last weekend was arrested on gun charges back in the riots in July, but him being BLM and Antifa, he was released and the charges were not pursued. The Caucasian man has a black power tattoo on his neck.
Being investigated does not make him the shooter.

Sorry, he has been convicted on line. So unless there is another guy with the same black power tattoo on his neck, who is this guys twin, wearing the same clothes who was there that night, this is the guy.
Innocent until proven guilty.

But whoever is tried, they need to scour his social media posts to see if he has ever posted anything against "white privilege" or the like. If the victim was targeted in part because of the color of his skin, then this needs to be tried as a hate crime, regardless of the race of the alleged murderer.

This is saying the 17 year old has been arrested.

He is not from Kenosha or WI.
Yea, Antioch IL I think is where he’s from. He shoots after he’s thrown to the ground and swarmed by rioters. That’s what I saw in videos available right now.
It will be interesting to find out whether he was asked by the business owner to help protect their property. Given the widely publicized arson attacks in that area during the last couple days, I think it is very reasonable for a business owner to assume that they will not get sufficient protection from the police.

Regardless, it appears from the video that both shootings were justified, since he was only fired after he was under direct attack and in reasonable fear for his life both times. First while being chased by a man who was trying to throw a Molatov coctail at him, then after being knocked to the ground by a violent mob.

But if he was there at the request of the property owner, that would undercut any prosecution assertion that he was "just looking for trouble". IANAL.

As an aside, this is what happens when government fails to protect the inalienable rights of it's citizens, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The citizens will step into the void and protect those rights themselves. And we should all begin to question why we continue to have a government that is not fulfilling the reason it was created in the first place (per the Declaration of Independence and also Locke's 3rd Treatise on Government), which is the very protection of those rights.

That was my tentative conclusion also. The media were calling them "armed private militias" and saying they were guarding against arson again. I translated that to be a bunch of citizens who said we have had enough.

At least one of the shootings was clearly self-defense. The citizen with the rifle had been attacked by a mob and taken to the ground. One of the rioters hit him in the head with a skateboard. He opened fire and hit the attacker in the chest. I am confident that this was justified. The guy shot in the arm was clearly carrying a pistol. He was wearing a hat claiming he was a paramedic. When he rushed up on the guy with the rifle, I don't know if his intent was to shoot him or provide medical attention, but I never heard of paramedics running anywhere with guns drawn.
When I was in the Army I was taught that non-combatants such as Medics could choose to either wear a Red Cross / Red Crescent, declaring them off limits to attack, or they could be armed. The pistol in his hand negates any benefit he might otherwise get from having a hat proclaiming him to be a medic, IMHO.

Lady Antebellum changing their name to Lady A to avoid association with slavery.

Antebellum is from the Latin "before the war".

Walmart to no longer keep muticultural hair products in locked cases.
How long until we need to rename "cotton" since slaves were used to pick cotton? Same goes for any other crops produced in the pre-Civil War south (tobacco, rice, etc).

They really believe white supremacists are behind the rioting.
The white supremacist narrative fails on multiple levels. First, those groups love publicity, and I just don't see them getting a huge percentage of their members to participate without anyone displaying a swastika, or something similar. That includes covering up all related tattoos, etc. Second, this would be real next level tactics, since on the surface, these groups would not be opposed to a black man being murdered by anyone.


I then consider the possibility that the MSM is looking for a scapegoat to blame that most Americans already oppose. But that would require the MSM to intentionally mislead the American public..... Yeah, my money is on the MSM making this up.

Instead, they came from Bridgeport, Burleson, Denton, Fort Worth, Grand Prairie, Irving, Lewisville, Terrell, The Colony and Wichita Falls – even one from Knoxville, Tenn.
The riot's don't look spontaneous at all...
I'm not sure how the rioters coming from different parts of the greater DFW metroplex raises eyebrows. I'm certain most of the peaceful protesters showing up are also coming from far and wide. I just don't see the relevance.

But I agree, the riots are definitely not spontaneous. To make it worse, it is being encouraged by many left wing activists through vocal approvals and bail charity. It is also being glorified by the MSM who, in my opinion, were the ones who fueled the fire to begin with.
Another aspect of this doesn't make sense to me. I would imagine that liberal "agitators", who are members of ANTIFA or some other group, tend to live in major cities. And since pretty much every major city is experiencing riots, it wouldn't make sense for them to go to a different city, as opposed to rioting closer to home. Then again, I am constantly amazed at the lack of sense on the part of pretty much everyone, especially liberals.

Not sure what the police were firing at these homeowner on their porch in Democrat controlled Minneapolis.

“Light them up” Rioters hard to shoot, homeowners on their porch easy targets.

Touch the dark part not the cheaters ad sorry both that.
Anyone know where or when this is from?
I believe it happened in Minneapolis. It looks like cell phone video taken by someone who was on the porch.
