I'd love to see how these wannabe's would behave in an actual wartime firefight against an enemy intent on killing them first.

BLACK LIVES MATTER

March 5th, 1959, 69 African American boys, ages 13 to 17, were padlocked into their dormitory for the night at the Negro Boys Industrial School in Wrightsville. Around 4 a.m., a fire mysteriously ignited, forcing the boys to fight and claw their way out of the burning building. It's an event in history possibly forgotten or unknown by many, but it’s that moment that claimed the life of 21 boys.

“It was a carefully calculated murder that involved 21 boys but was designed to kill 69 that were housed inside of this dormitory,” said Frank Lawrence. He has made it his life's mission to uncover the truth surrounding what he calls Arkansas’ “secret holocaust,”.

When the smoke cleared that March morning in 1959, the boys' who burned to death were found piled on top of one another in the corner of the dormitory. The 48 who had survived managed to escape by prying off mesh metal screens from two windows.

The horrific event briefly made headlines that also brought attention to the squalor and deplorable conditions in which the boys lived.

"The conditions were to a point where when 69 boys all go to bed at night, in a space barely big enough for them to move around and they are one foot apart from one another and you had to get up at night and go to the bathroom, they had to defecate in buckets," said Lawrence. "The boys went around in rags. They had one 30-gallon water tank for them to take baths," said Stockley.

The boys in the school were committed for being orphaned, homeless or for committing offenses described as mischief and alleged petty crimes.

In an ironic twist, the land in which the school stood is now the Arkansas Department of Correction Facility Wrightsville Unit where you won’t find a plaque to indicate the boys ever lived or died there.

You favor shooting the protestors, I take it?
In my state, KY, if I were sitting at a restaurant and an unruly crowd came in and did what they did, I would be within my rights to pull my Glock 17 and shoot to kill those acting out at my table.

I'm not saying I would, but I'd be within my rights. This has already been tested in the courts here. But I'm torn. Most of these people are simply kids that will grow out of this nonsense. Then again, so are enemy troops in an actual war. But the bottom line is that nobody should take pleasure in taking the life of another human being. However, sometimes it is prudent to do so, from many different perspectives. It's why Proverbs says there is a time for war and a time for peace.

So no, I'm not in favor of shooting these people, but if one of those people in that restaurant had shot and killed one of them, they would have been, in my state, within their rights to do do. And let us be honest. If more people did that, these terrorists would not be doing what the are doing.

And what they are doing is terrorism, based on their own narcissistic pet peeves.

Nope. That could not be further from the truth. It's not even about race for me. And people get shot for what they are doing, not who they associate with. That is why only three people were shot by Kyle. All three were attacking him. Nobody else was hit.

I have to ask - do any of the leftists here have any actual life experience outside the leftist bubble. Your opinions are based on extremely shallow platitudes that have little to do with the actual human condition outside the leftist bubble, and steeped in human nature.

It's like you constantly try to debate with an opponent you see as a one dimensional cartoon character and get your butts handed to you when they show themselves to be real, three dimensional people.

To be clear, I'm only talking to the leftists here.

Ultimately, that is what it comes down to regarding the power of any government. The power of the gun.
