Store Owners Arm Themselves Amid Ongoing Protests Over Death Of George Floyd | NBC Nightly News
https://www.youtube.com/user/NBCNews
Nice
wanna be friends?
Just wanted t o say three things
1) Good for everyone who is defending their businesses with their second amendment rights
2) Shame on the media channels that have been saying these riots are justified. Literal destruction of property and murder are never justified.
3) Justice for Floyd- may the officer get the charge that he absolutely deserves.
ALL looters and vandals need to be shot. Less criminals and agitators in the world, the better.
@TheScotchaholic And do you want to get a proper body count…Not everyone will escape…..
@Edmund Tozzi Actually there are many viewpoints not just two, the country is split into Far Left, Left, Middle, Right, Far Right and Libertarian. There are some people who avoid politics altogether, they could be right or left, but we’ll never know. 1 out of 6 people may share the same viewpoint as you.
@Tracy Gossett yeah,
@spookyguns 2cod Oh yes, they do. Only a mass movement like this revolution will change that. Talk will not do anything.
This is America!
American police also similar to BANGLADESH police!
Third world America
UtubeProfit third world people brought in what do you expect
???
The 🔫 keeps the looters at bay.
Yes, these businesses are important because their presence improves the quality of life in our communities.
David Ellis as a 10 year old what I learned is when I open a business, at least get a cheap 9 mm pistol because there probably will be a second outbreak in my life
Shotgun a day keeps the criminals away !
I’m not sure how a Squirt Gun is gonna keep hoodlums at bay but sure maybe they don’t want to get wet.
Will Gal Gadot sing “Imagine” again?
Haha……better she should stop acting
Madonna version is better.
Keep the 2nd amendment alive and make it stronger – pull back restrictive gun laws.
We need a national Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground laws!
GOOD! CRIMINALS SHOULD BE SHOT!!
If America is no longer your home Europe welcomes you back
Oh boy! The liberals hate America anyway and always threaten to leave. Take them. Please.
They all threatened when Trump was elected, but strangely, they’re all still here. Even people who hate America refuse to leave it
Arm yourself!! Well, serves them right!! Don’t be looting and rioting!
@TheScotchaholic There you go again with the bigotry. Do find comfort in labels? I never said don’t be angry, and I didn’t defend looting or other crime. I’m not even attacking gun laws here, just adolescent reactionary attitudes, like yours. Shoot them all? Come on… You’ve got a pretty creepy interpretation of the golden rule. (Isn’t that about treating others as you’d like to be treated? Rather than treating them as you perceive they would treat you? Cos that would be more bigotry).
I’m not gaslighting. If any of this is going to be put back on track, the hurt and anger have to be seen as legitimate, both of the protesters and the victims of looting. That’s how you care about each other.
Divisive labeling doesn’t help. I’ve taken the time to share my thoughts with you. Thanks for all the love, respect and tolerance. Good discussion.
@Fire Storm Fox Yesterday, I watched a video of a teenage girl stealing a cheesecake. You’re going to have a hard time convincing me that she deserved to be shot for that. Surely, that’s not really comparable with terrorism? Think about your own actions, and your words. If your opinion changes, well that’s growth, not weakness.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1266916809569185799
@Jay Kelly well just because she was walking around with the cheesecake doesn’t mean that she’s the one that broke into the factory,
and my opinion about businesses defending themselves won’t change what happens in the long run, hopefully no one gets shot.
This protest should not cause any more deaths.
@Jay Kelly stealing is stealing period!!
@peter tran Hey man, when you use the term “period”, you don’t get to use exclamation points. It’s just something you say. So you might have just typed “Stealing is stealing.” – and who could argue that effective statement? Not me. Stealing is indeed stealing. Welcome to the conversation. (Sorry for the rant, but you didn’t give me much to go on). Don’t be so quick-fire. Read the comments before assuming this is an opportunity to choose a side. I’m just highlighting bad attitudes here. People who think violence solves violence, without realizing they are part of the problem. Online, those comments reflect so negatively on the American people. Work with me here.
This is disgusting. America has problems
Like all countries of the world.
@lilbeserk speak for yourself. My country is great.
Robbing a gun store is suicide…. better shoot the person dead than have those guns in circulation on the street
Undeniably agreeable. Shoot all of them dead to help further cleanse society even more. We don’t like troublemakers and vermin who will cause destruction to our society.
@J.J. Man, you ARE the troublemaker and vermin that will cause destruction to your society.
@Julian D You know what, I just LOVE the stupid and poor of society. We need more of them. WHY? So other people can silently and shamelessly study, observe, agree, and politically side on the EXACT OPPOSITE of these stupid and poor troublemaker vermin who think they can get whatever they want by getting as loud and whiny as possible throwing around their F-bombs in attempt of intimidation to force their viewpoint down our throats when they’re not successful , like having a homeless bum telling somebody how to rich, a fat person giving fitness advice, an English using bad grammar, etc. If you want to be poor and dumb like them, go right ahead agree, do, and side with them to create LESS COMPETITION at the top for those who want to be rich and successful do the EXACT OPPOSITE while we enjoy our champagne and caviar from our Ivory, watching the firework chaos down below you vermin.
Okay, I thank you kindly,
They should try looting Dragonmans
should not have fired those three cops – they should have charged them and then displayed them in handcuffs being led into jail. That’s what people want to see. That will calm them down. But hey, in six months, or a year, when a jury of their peers acquits them and lets them all go – including the cop who did the actual killing – then what? The USA’s racism is so ingrained there really isn’t any hope to change it.
no its not most want to steal and riot its wide spread, cops already arrested and yet this still goes on people want to rob and steal and destroy
When they are acquitted and let go the next thing that will happen is they will be murdered. Problem solved, lesson learned.
The action taken to fire all officers involved and arrest the one directly responsible for the murder was swift. Far quicker than what happened during the time of the black riots of 1992 in LA. Though this is proving that regardless of what white people do, blacks are a waste of time to try reasoning with.
@Mark Victor u should be right among them
@cgsimons1187 you got too many young men w/o fathers being raised by emotional females this is what yo get when they let the m off the leash
Owners have a right to protect their property too and they should. All the looting is distracting the real prize of the protest
Media is focusing on all the negatives of the protest.
Yeah, the good thing is that people have stopped talking about COVID19. That was getting SO tiresome!
@Mark Victor That’s True we’ll get ratings back up on The Covid-19 after we deal with Covid-45….
Vote
NBC supports looters
Who owns nbc? Ya, they’re promoting this
@B P Their fake news and othe msm has caused this violence.
Need chaos in order to have news. Peaceful time equals no news and no money for network.
They should be more concerned about the government looting them than the looters…How many businesses destroyed from this bullcrap pandemic…just keep wearing your mask and living in fear you fools….
Yep, the entire nation just got tested for the next big thing.
Hahahaha….No pandemic.. it’s just little flu….. Hahahaha…Nah no racism in U.S.. just a little misunderstanding,.Hahahaha..We will see….
The news man ask the lady what if the camera wasn’t there what she thought would happen. Those murderous slime balls called law enforcement would have killed her just like there corrupt government they work for would want them to do.
what’s wrong with a couple free 40s?
They looting start shooting
I hope person’s who know of any of these looters (thieves) should do the right thing and turn them in. Its not about snitching its doing the right thing and teaching consequences of actions!
Opportunist using these peaceful and meaningful protest are just disrespecting the cause & Floyd’s memory in my opinion!
these protests will fade away only after mr. trump tenders his resignation; then mr. soros will call off his antifa war dogs.
It’s not going to stop, history shows us that riots don’t just stop or go away they get put down by force and that’s what needs to be done and no riots don’t make things better they make them worse.
No, history shows the opposite actually. In democratic nations, once people have expressed themselves for a few days, demonstrations gradually dwindle. Your hyperbole about ‘riots’ is nonsense. While some rioting happened at first, most people are demonstrating lawfully and peacefully.
Crime!!!!
IT’S NOT WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WITHOUT THE CAMERAS….IT’S BLACK….IT’S BAD….COP’S THINKING !
The cops automatically assume the black woman is guilty. If there was a white woman in a group of black people, they probably wouldn’t arrest the white woman.
Yep, we can’t get along together. Separation is the only way for peace.
Shoot the looters…..Love the protestors
To the armed store owners across the country, hit record when its go time. Cops show up, show them the evidence!
Store cameras
They’re turning the majority against them…
I don’t belive there so many criminals in America oh my god
Founded on land theft and genocide, America was established by criminals.
Unsurprisingly mostly blacks..
@Julian D Nature has no law except survival of the fittest. It’s illogical to call it criminal because there was no laws preventing them from doing it. Native Americans were killing each other years before the colonists came. Every nation and group is responsible for what something which would be considered an injustice by today’s standards, the only reason America gets heat for it is because in the end they proved to be the victors.
Looters and rioters have become the enemy!
They were always
so prior to this looters and rioters were allies?
Maga hipster queens.
I feel bad for that lady being assaulted by looters.
Fire at will!
at you
Why do Americans need high capacity magazines? Now we have the answer.
BINGO!
To protect yourselves from other people who have high capacity magazines. you have no answers, and aren’t even asking the right questions.
No matter what All lives matter and the 2nd amendment too, dont provoke a war with a responsible gun owner or war will come your way.
police say a gun store owner shot and killed an armed looter….. His last words? …. “I POOPED MY PANTS” ….. Expect to see it on signs at every protest….
Don’t stand for the madness. Defend your property!
EVERY BODY GO HOME!!!!!
Come on folks, Let’s get real. The protesters are protesting racial injustice. The looters are out because of the covid-19 unemployment rate. Even without George Floyd’s death, this was bound to happen at some point this Summer. There’s NO WAY that 40 million+ unemployed people, most of them young, many of them minorities, were going to just sit patiently and wait for things to get better.
This is like saying we’re gona die anyways, so why not dying now.
Why are you surprised that people will shoot when a crook decides to loot?
@Edmund Tozzi that’s not the system, the system is the police system, not your communities. If protestors die because they decided to attack the wrong people then I say they got what they deserved.
Look I don’t have the answers. The system is hiring and giving to much power to cops, for too many years, this is the result.
@Edmund Tozzi One thing we have to do is take that power away. Vote for tbe right people and prioritize turning your neighborhood into a militia.
The cops can’t do anything to us if we defend each other and do not require their services. When seconds matter, a cop is minutes away, but your gun will be immeditaley availible.
Edmund Tozzi So when you’re mad at the cops, take it out on your local corner store
@Edmund Tozzi “Hey guys, lets go rob liquor, electronics, and jewelry stores to stop racism! That will definitely send the police a message!” You really think private business owners are “part of the system?” Get out of town.
Hells to the yes.
Good for them!
Good for the shopkeepers arming themselves. What a disgrace to see the clergy attacking a president. All I see is a country attacking their leader. At least you enjoy that right. Don’t take it for granted.
If that’s all you see then you’re not really looking. What the World can see is your leader attacking and eroding your nation’s most cherished principles and public institutions. Extremist Americans always imagine they’re the only country with rights lol. Others have those rights too and don’t need to shoot people to defend them.
Shoot them down
A time to build , A time to tear down.Stop killing my people. Most P O Po r for the property owners not for the people.they r hired hit men for the governmemt .
USA destroyed the middle east with riots and chaos let them taste a bit of what they cook
Maybe the middle east shouldn’t have hijacked 4 planes and crashed them into buildings or the ground. That’s what war is you simpleton, this is not wartime, not on our soil, not by our people. People are looting out of convenience, burning businesses to the ground, most don’t even care nor know who George Floyd was.
@Tracy Gossett by the way I am not speaking about the war on Iraq. USA causes riots and chaos in any Muslim country that try to embrace democracy. The purpose of the Arab spring was to make Arab countries democratic. USA and Israel interfered and ruined the Arab Spring. You have made it Arab Autumn. Thank you! The world is like a circle, what you do to others today will come to you someday.
Cops are not that smart, as are their leaders, which is why they let people loot, then come in and arrest people protecting their property
Politicians and cops are CRIMINALS! That’s why they arrest or shoot people Defending their lives and property, while letting criminals free!
@TheScotchaholic Hahahaha…
TheScotchaholic not going to argue with that. lol
If you are protesting the death of Mr. Floyd, you already lost. The narrative has been drowned out by rioters and looters.
Not really but that’s all you want to focus on because you didn’t care about the actual issue in the first place.
You never cared to bigin with,
We do some dont
“The store owner killed an armed looter”
Yeah? And? Was he supposed to gift wrap his guns and hand it over to the looter?
You must be a special kind of stupid inbred to rob a gun store
Guns… yeahhh 👍👍🤟🔥
Protect yourself business men
Why would you try to loot a gun store?
폭도들은 잡아라 폭력주동자를 구속하라
PROTESTERS SO INTERESTED IN JUSTICE BUT WATCHING LOCAL STORES BURING AND
STOLEN…..FKING IDIOTS….DONT KONW WHAT JUSTICE MEANS AND WHAT
STANDING UP FOR RIGHT MEANS
00:11
They say that like its a bad thing a looter got killed LOL
The gun store looter was greedy. Couldn’t be content with Nikes.
Systemic Racism: Police are at forefront; Donald Trump and GOP Senators closely behind; Republikkkan Trumo base is violent racist
Lutters should be used for target practice
you too
Anyone notice how the looting is worse in the states with the strictest gun control laws.
no, no one’s noticed that because you just made it up yourself.
I’m glad store owners fight back. It literally shouldn’t be seen as bad when a man defends himself.
The news covers the guy who killed the looter like he was a bad guy.
I find it funny how the news says it’s bad when the looter tries to rob someone and then get killed in the process, and they think it’s bad, that it’s a crime that the owner shot the looter.. this world is insane
As major cities is being clamp down the looters(criminals) are going to move to smaller cities.My advice to Business Owners is use your 2nd Amendment.
THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GEORGE FLOYD and everything to do with these terrorists being hired by bloomberg and soros to damage as much as they could using Floyd as a reason. So far several people and some blacks have died during these terrorist attacks but I guess THEY do NOT matter!
WHEN NOTHING is being done behind the looting, the chaos and the destruction, you know this has nothing to do with George Floyd and everything to so with the leftist demonrat party! These are FAR LEFTIST MAYORS AND GOVERNORS who just watch and do nothing while these criminal terrorists destroy their state and cities while the innocent citizens are attacked over and over again.
THIS IS WHAT THIS WHOLE NATION WILL LOOK LIKE UNDER A LEFTIST DEMONRAT PARTY PRESIDENT!! Thank God Trump won and is now sending in the military since the left governors do nothing to stop any of this! They have the national guard they can send out and not once has any of the left governors used them!
They loot you shoot. it just an excuse to be a thief! Understand this people, certain people in the government want looting. They need a reason to impose marshal law! get ready for the 3rd Revolutionary war!
“This is crime” this is what the world deserves burn it down start over
02:06
01:45
02:00
Why do the media people and some politicians sound that they are condoning these lootings and riots? They blame the government and justifying the evil acts. They are just encouraging these devils.
STORE owners are fighting to save their businesses….’re member 1 in the head two in the chest….!!!
America, champion of democracy, reels in pain.
Trump told you. When the looting starts the shooting starts! Oh…You thought he just meant police and NG? 🤣🤣🤣 You better hope a cop gets to before I do if I catch you looting my business. I’ll make it slow and painful!
I do not feel bad for the looters who got shot n killed.
Second amendement protect your First Amendement 👍.. protect your freedom to do bussiness 👍
Why aren’t more cops on patrol to prevent these riots from even starting
no sympathy for anyone looters who are shot during this. if police aren’t going to enforce the laws and protect their citizens and their properties, then owners needs to defend themselves.
I stood with my neighbors with our guns against the Protestors/Looters/Rioters, They are cowards and they lost all interest when they realized they were going to be challenged.
I had my faith restored in society when I saw how many other gun owners came out and showed that it was our community and not theirs to destroy.
Shoot all looters3
Store owners should shot any looters whom disregard their warning, people need to send a strong message that once you entered that store, your life have been forfeited. Promote restrained yet deadly violence is healthy for this society, people need to know things have consequences.
If you dont even think to buy a gun until well after problems begin then you are just going to make things worse.
Too many people are ignorant and untrained. You need several beginners classes before you are able to safely use a rifle or handgun and the vast majority of Americans never bother with that.
Yeah sure let’s all devolve into the Wild West all over again when anyone with a gun could take justice in their own hands. The sad fact remains violence begets more violence
A perfect weapon for the situation since we can’t own fully automatic weapons. They do have the semi automatic version of the Saw M249 just hook up a 300rd belt. set up shop inside wait for looters to break in and lit em up.
I love how people are protesting like this, in my opinion the protesters are wasting their time.
Remember folks. Creepy Biden said Beto O’rourke will be in his cabinet, your guns will not..
They say we are innocent until they get caught
I don’t think these people ever interested in the death of George…they are just angry greedy savage
SH00T down the looters PLEASE
