Nope, as soon as she said "legal protestors" she lost me. Her points, no matter what they be, are null and void.
First, be aware that there are two authors speaking. The reporter or "journalist" and Lara Smith who is being interviewed. My take on the "legal protests" is her distinguishing between protest, which she even points out is protected under the 1st-A and the so called "mostly peaceful protest" which is code word for loot and pillage.
Most of what she says is spot on, especially the parts about self defense being an inherent right that everyone has and that it is not a function of politics, ideology, or whether or not you like someone.
Where I disagree with her is when she says KR was "morally wrong" and calls the dead his "victims". They were NOT victims, they were violent aggressors.
In response to the final sentence of the piece: "That kid should never have been there, and I think that’s the society’s failure. He just shouldn’t have been there at all."
I would retort that he, and all the others like him should
NOT HAVE HAD TO be there and that is a societal failure. Then again, I don't agree with the idea that you should be required to stand by and do nothing while violent criminals attack and destroy your stuff, your neighbor's stuff, or your community and limit your actions to calling the govt. squad which admits it has no duty to protect you or your stuff, but only the public at large. The Kenosha riots were yet another example of relying on govt for protection is useless and stupid.
