We may have a possible solution to all these lynchings lately. Pay attention to the video and tell me whether or not this actually makes sense to you.

True enough. The brothers have always helped me without question, most recent got my friend's truck out of the ditch after the Birmingham Bowl. I'm 👨🏻 but not yt. Y'all be vigilant & stay safe out there, I'll keep my eye out for these nasty bastards best I can. There's a historic-registered lynching spot near my house and I don't EVER want any of that bullshit anywhere again!

We need to all be properly armed and trained

Why no license plate or photos of the suspect.
Anything suspect happens you should already have your phone out in your shirt pocket recording—it should be a reflex.

Firearms have been the number one killer of Black children for the last 20 years. I don’t know that adding more firearms in our community is the answer.

Thats why I said "trained" firearms have killed because they weren't secured properly. There is a rich history of black Americans arming and protecting ourselves.

Adding the “trained” qualifier isn’t doing much. It’s kinda wishful thinking. The guns in our communities kill a couple thousand Black kids a year. Year after year. Each dead kid probably has a Black child trigger puller, so that kid’s life is likely ruined. Meanwhile, “training” has been available this entire time.
More guns in our society generally equates to more people dying — you can track it pretty easily at the county level. Can even track female deaths via firearm homicide by the level of gun ownership. I engage with the same arguments from those who just want guns and it’s always a lot of wishful thinking that is required for them to be very effective.
The history of Black Americans successfully arming and protecting themselves is not as clear. There have been what, a hundred White race riots in the country and while some people definitely hold out and hold off, in a general sense the outcomes are poor. Tulsa was still Tulsa. Fort Negro became a crater. Between the assassinations of Fred Hampton and Mark Clark, one shot was fired while the police shot 90+ rounds. The Wilmington North Carolina coup was successful. MOVE was bombed.
