I find it interesting that the shooter was a Pinkerton which was there to protect a 9News reporter. From what I can see, the scenario of a man with pepper spray does not constitute the use of deadly force. You would think a trained Pinkerton would make a better judgement call.

The Pinkertons themselves are infamous and have been around since the second half of the 1800s:

Kinda makes one ponder if the action was just done to inflame things more.

There's rumours the shooter is very much still antifa even if he was at work that day.

Having that kind of hate and paranoid mindset is going to stop you making good judgement calls.

hate and paranoid mindset

Really?

The guy was reported to be a Pinkerton. We are currently in a time where there are provocateurs stirring up violence. Pondering whether the shooter's motivation was to inflame things more is paranoid? Hateful??

How you could construe my comment as hate is beyond me. I am in no way in favor of violence from either "side". The only side I am on is the human side. The divisions of politics and race are not drawn by individuals, but by the establishment in order to divide us.

We are currently in a time where there are provocateurs stirring up violence.

And manufacturing shooting hoaxes.

I am reading your comment as telling me that I have a mindset of hate and paranoia.

Is that not the case?

Are you not able to clarify?
