People's Convoy fires live rounds at anti-fascists in Oregon

[Fishking]

Name two or three things that could be thrown off a bridge that would justify a shooting.

Anything with weight.

 

[Gateman_Wen]

Well that makes vandalism OK.

Remember, you said that not me.

 

[Fishking]

Or…deadly force was the response to paint-filled balloons.

Possible...but it would go against what's been seen time and again.

 

[Fishking]

We aren't communists.

Then you aren't actually part the the Antifa crowd. You may think so, because you fall for the "everyone who is against fascism is ant-fascist" but that's not actually the same as the Antifa peeps. They literally have a communist symbol on their flag.

If they were dropping bricks on moving vehicles that could be lethal. Paint filled balloons cannot. I could see a cracked windshield or two though.

This is a breaking news update, details are still emerging. The far-right People’s Convoy reportedly opened fire with live rounds at anti-fascist counter protesters today on I-205 freeway in Oregon. Independent journalist Alissa Azar confirmed that two shots were fired and that no counter protesters were injured.


Anti-fascist activists reportedly were throwing paint-filled balloons on convoy vehicles from an overpass. After some of the convoy stopped, gunshots could be heard on Proud Boys livestreamer Josh Fulfer and Capitol rioter livestreamer Christopher Brow’s videos. Brow’s livestream also appears to show an alleged shooter pulling a sidearm out right as shots are heard.

While dropping paint filled balloons doesn't seem nice or safe. Should people be shot for it? No

If I see any updates I''ll try to remember to post them.

So basically there was allegedly defensive action taken against violent leftist brownshirts who attacked legitimate protestors?

LOL, a 1 lb bag of dry beans has "weight". Is defending yourself from a bag of beans a legal justification?

Anything which could cause loss of vehicle control could be lethal. A paint blocked (obscured?) windshield could cause that.

If one of those paint filled balloons popped on someone's windshield and blinded the driver, you'd be wrong.

The original anti fascists were fighting against the Nazi party and the only other large political party in Germany at the time were the communists so it was them or nobody. That does not mean the anti fascists are rooted in communism, it means even a communist can understand fascism is bad.

Why can't you?

Ehhhhhhh...not really! "Let's wait and see" is a perfectly fair position to take, but when it comes to armed right wingers and antifa, the former firing on the latter seems like a very organic escalation of what's happened up til now.

And playing at being obtuse. It's ****ing dumb.

They were literally communists. This isn't hard to understand. Your statement is a ridiculous as saying that someone flying a flag with a swastika on it wasn't a Nazi.

How's about they call the cops and have them arrested instead of shooting at them?

How did you come up with the idea that I took the side of the shooters?

 

[The flaming lib]

Remember, kids: this his argument before he moves the goal post to “Serves ‘em right!”

How soooo very liberal of you, assuming incorrectly. But I expect no less.

No matter if right, wrong or somewhere in between it’s never right to shoot indiscriminately anywhere, especially if there are people in the vicinity

 

[MaryP]

How did you come up with the idea that I took the side of the shooters?

I didn't. I agreed with you that what Antifa was doing could be very dangerous. Calling the police would be the sane thing to do, though, don't you think? The convoy vehicles that got hit could have stopped farther down the road to file a complaint and the little Antifa buggers could have gotten snatched and fined to pay for the new paint jobs.

Why not comment on what I actually wrote instead of implying that I would be for the guy with the gun?

in the mean time this wife was gunned down by her husband a few days ago in Wisconsin (while their 6yo watched) and not a single poster here talked about it...

Any other source except:

Daily Kos group blog and internet forum focused on the Democratic Party and liberal American politics. The site includes glossaries and other content. It is sometimes considered an example of "netroots" activism.

Possibility, but information needs to be confirmed other than a partisan website.

I asked you to name two or three things that could be thrown off a bridge that would legally justify a shooting. You posted "anything with weight". THAT is ****ing dumb.

Okay.
Anyone who finds themselves behind the wheel of a car, and is put into a life and death situation by criminals tossing paint filled balloons doesn't always have the luxury, time to call the police. There's my chat.

Ewwww....you ARE for the guy with the gun????

The people firing had time to pull over, stop, and get out of their vehicles. No one was bleeding and they weren't within range of anything thrown from the bridge. So I don't see an imminent life or death struggle at that moment.
