They don't "have to".
They can take no action what so ever to protect what they have worked their whole lives in many cases to own. I myself do just that ...that is guard a friend and business man's property and have been told by the Seattle police that if one or more of the resident scumbags enter the property into my living area past the chain link fences that I am free to do whatever I feel it is neccesary to protect my life including taking one or more of theirs. As long as the property is lawfully posted "no tresspassing" and all appropriate warnings are given the owner's or their paid staff have the right and dare I say the obligation to protect what they have been hired to protect and in doing so their very lives.
So let's militarize store owners because blacks can't control their animalistic urges.
What do you mean when you say 'Militarize?' Can you expand on that?
: to give a military quality or character to (something)
Seems perfectly American and just. There's nothing wrong with defending yourself, family, and property. If that's being 'Militarized', than so be it. It's a good thing.
It's normal only when looting becomes the norm.
The storeowners shouldn't have to beef up security just because blacks can't control themselves and protest without destroying someone's livelihood.
Those that can't or won't are not obligated to protect what is theirs. They can throw themselves on the mercy of their local governments and hope the police are everywhere at once.
Those that can and will are not taking the law into their own hands. They are protected in the right to defend what is theirs. No one will be forced to break into shops and homes as a missguided way to protest the death of the young thug.
If you were to ask me I would suggest that all these protesting blacks choose a more worthy candidate for their butt hurt about how police treat their angry young men.
If one were to inquire further into why I think these angry young men feel entitled to disrespect their local police one has to look no further than into the rap anthems these idiots listen to. They have convinved themselves that they have some innate right to be assholes and sling crack at every street corner then blast their ??music?? as loud as they can in defiance of mutual respect we afford all citizens. They are in error.
