It's never been about self defense for these folks. It's just finding ways to justify murder. I think people are entitled to self defense of course, but some people just want to kill.
you're right im an american and this is indeed based wholesum 100 chungus
Local news comments are 90% boomers wishing death upon anyone no matter how minor the crime is.
