He is in criitical condition.

Governors and Prosecutors need to announce no penalty for shooting looters even in duty to retreat states now !
All looters are dangerous people who should be assumed as a threat .

What an absolutely horrible thing to watch.
Yet many are supporting the looters.
This man may eventually die from his wounds. All because he wanted to protect his store and livelihood. Totally disgusting.

Who is supporting the looters besides other looters?

There are some protesters, who are supporting the looters.
There was video I saw tonight, where a protester said (paraphrasing) "I am not looting, but if I had to feed my family, I would steal. And I support my brothers and sisters who are looting."

Watching local news here in Los Angeles earlier.
The looters were swarming a specific high-end shoe (sneakers) store. It went on for an hour or so.
People were driving-up to the store and people would get out to steal merchandise.
There were some very big/heavy-weight looters that just stood outside, and as weaker looters ran by carrying 4 or 5 boxes of shoes, the big looters would trip them or shove them to the ground. The big looters would then take their stolen merchandise and throw it in the back seat of their nearby car.
After that, they would wait until the next idiot came by and did it again. They kept doing this over and over again; rinse and repeat.
I just couldn't stop thinking how this is a total disgrace to the cause of protesting against what happened to George Floyd.

Atlanta mayor on Trump: 'He should just stop talking.'

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms on Sunday rebuked Donald Trump's rhetoric amid days of protests after the death of George Floyd, saying the President "is making it worse" and is stoking racial tensions.

"He should just stop talking. This is like Charlottesville all over again," Bottoms told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union." "He speaks and he makes it worse. There are times when you should just be quiet and I wish that he would just be quiet. Or if he can't be silent, if there is somebody of good sense and good conscience in the White House, put him in front of a teleprompter and pray he reads it and at least says the right things, because he is making it worse."

So a protester gets in the way of a cop car while's hes driving and he's the victim.

Do you know what a crosswalk is?

Do you know what running into the direction of a cop car is?

From the images and pictures, are some of you really going to go with "a crosswalk" excuse?
There are people everywhere, in/on the street (outside of any crosswalks).
C'mon guys/gals.

Psychopath.

Is it just me, or did he just "thank" himself in that Tweet?
