why are you so sure of this, exactly. I mean what are you basing this on. Because it sounds exactly like the poo poo someone would say if they panicked and murked some kids

Has that information ever come out? Honestly the whole situation stinks of a coverup by those involved looking to justify their actions after the fact. Afaik it’s never been established the teens even had a gun in the vehicle. The whole thing is a lot of stories being told by unreliable narrators

yeah all i know is what i've gathered from the internet, which i guess is all most people here know anyway

i just think it's loving offensive to twist it into a black on black violence thing which the "the protestors shot innocent kids" narrative is

That doesn’t justify it even if it’s true, but I don’t think you can even say for sure they thought they were being shot at. I do think they got spooked by a vehicle where they didn’t expect one and opened fire, probably without even getting a great look at the people inside. Beyond that, I’m not inclined to trust anything else that got said about the shooting

I looked these guys up and found a bunch of articles about how notoriously white they were and how much trouble they caused for black people by cosplaying revolutionary

It’s the middle of the night, you’re packing heat and playing revolutionary on a self selected defense mission. You’re on edge because of constant rumors about proud boys about to attack. You might be drinking, probably definitely smoking weed, there’s a vehicle where there shouldn’t be. You open fire

To me, that’s the most logical chain of events but it’s all conjecture because none of us know poo poo and all the accounts are unreliable and full of holes

yeah but that, again, is not the car getting shot up because of "driving while black" which is where this all started from

You keep saying this but then you also keep trying to justify the murder so idk but this isn’t the right place to have this discussion so let’s both drop it, feel free to get the last word if you’re so inclined

dustcat given the lack of things like evidence, have you considered alternative speculations like americans with guns do really dumb things, a false flag, etc.

i don't know what actually happened at the protest

what's happening online is that people are using these kids' deaths as evidence that black people / leftists / whatever are bad because they will heedlessly shoot up a randomly passing car, especially if a black kid is driving it

Maybe take it to another thread? It seems like a lot of folks here would rather not talk about it here right now.
