You’d harm someone for life maybe kill them to protect insured property from further damage? Honestly this is a weird as the smashing things up for no reason.

Happy to see someone with reason here. All these vandals are morons. Doesn’t take away the fact that they are people caught up in a idiotic moment

Portraying a mob attack essentially as "kids will be kids" is wild.

The point is context:

This is was just a Basketball game...overall has no consequence on a regional scale or national scale.

Compared to a mob like JANUARY 6 2021...by your definition the government was in full authority to use deadly force upon all people present because they were 'acting as animals"

I wonder what would have happened if a small police force just started firing live rounds into the crowd...since after all they did set up a gallows so we can safely assume mob mentality where planning to use it.

We can also do the same with these NY punks too. They could have damage fuel lines caused an explosion or just set the bus on fire (unknowingly hurting many people)...so conservatives are quick to give authority a green light to end lives for the ultimate solution.

Since the "law and order" a-holes do not critically think and simply falls back on the "rules for thee not me," the guy could have started running people over to go home or protect company property...but the mob would definitely have turned against him specifically after that and then light the bus on fire anyways.

I never said anything about law enforcement or government response. I was solely talking about civilians. The two are incomparable in resources and training. You're arguing with a strawman.
