    It's about your God given right to self defense, unless you're a black teenager who might hove stolen some skittles. Then it's about the God given right of any asshole with a gun to kill you in the street

      Right-wing violence will always be treated more gently than left-wing violence, even if the leftist violence in blatantly in self-defense. If a leftist ends up in that sort of situation, they're basically fucked no matter what -- either going to prison or killed by a death squad, if they even survive the initial violence -- so the incentive at that point is to just make sure their enemy is dead.

        Leonard Peltier is still in jail even though he probably didn't shoot that fed. A couple of black panthers are still in jail because someone else killed a cop.

      It really says “you aren’t allowed to even get near a right-winger unless they’ve already shot you multiple times.”

      Right-wing ideology is inconsistent if you go by what they say. If you track the behavior (in this case, white people and institutions are above all else), you find it's a lot more predictable.
