I’m done arguing that the details of individual shoots make them good shoots or not. It is utterly pointless. These people’s heads have been filled with so much mendacity, rage, and hate that any rational, fact-based argument will fall on deaf ears and closed minds.

I’m really doing my best to ignore the social media on this because it’s so wrong and so bad. So many people calling the Mikayah Bryant white people’s revenge for Derek Chauvin and shit like that.
But one Tweet did stand out at me for sheer insanity.

It’s not an appropriate use of force to shoot an assailant with a knife from stabbing someone because that stabbing might not be lethal?
Fine.
I’m not even going to try to argue against that.
This is where these people are and it’s not worth arguing, it’s a waste of energy.
That’s the same sort of stupid shit as when someone tells someone who’s defended him/herself something like “You don’t know he would have killed you, so you shouldn’t have killed him.”
Not enough people get into life or death situations often enough.
Until you get there, you just do not know. It is easy to Monday Morning Quarterback, especially if you have never actually been in a professional NFL game. A lot tougher to criticize people when you have been in their situation.
Yet, who is the mob listening to? Random strangers on the internets who have zero or less experience.
