> and the killer said he acted in self defense

I'm sorry, but that's misinformation. The killer was on video actively searching for potential targets, and repeatedly referred to himself as a soldier in a civil war. Instead turning himself in, like you're supposed to do in a lawful self-defense situation, he crossed state lines while fleeing from police. He later attempted to shoot the police when they finally found him.

Just because censorship is pervasive does not actually change the historical record. I've posted enough to prove my point. I would invite you to watch the hundreds of hours of violent riot footage instead, but Google already made sure to scrub all of it off of YouTube.




Welp this is quite the goalpost moving, "hundreds of killings" and now we're debating the motives of one single guy.

Hyperbole undermines credibility.
