Wow. This man needs a lesson on how to deescalate a situation properly. Will this heavy handed approach really make people less angry? I doubt it..

The National Guard would go to stop violence, wouldn't it?

Pretty interesting how people even here try to invert the situation for political reasons.

You tell me, he quite literally says the military is with him and ready to shoot when people start looting.

Please tell me how I am inverting the situation? Or should I use your translation book to make sense of his tweets?

If those "people" started looting my property i would have very much liked for someone to shoot them

Ah so now they are "people"? The people who loot should be arrested and tried. Once you start using force many innocent people will be caught in the crosshairs, this will only further escalate the situation.

Yes, using violence in politics reduces their humanity in my eyes. They started using force, giving in only invites more violence in the future.

Looting and even property damage is different from violence, and when it happens to a business it's different from when it happens to a person.

It's not that you should like or always accept such things, but the unpleasant part of being robbed is the fear of violence, besides which the lost property itself is usually a transient annoyance. Actual violence against your person is a great deal worse.

So if someone is robbing you, you should not be allowed to defend your property with violence unless you are threatened directly?

Interesting
