      You say that, and I don’t strictly disagree. But that hasn’t saved the unarmed people from being killed yet. In fact they’re the only ones that have. Make of that what you will.

              No it isn’t. The core of his argument is that fascism is here and it will not be stopped without violence. Historically speaking, he’s right. Arming yourself in anticipation of an inevitable conflict that will come for you (unless you’re the whiteright kind of people) is only prudent.

              1 exception doesn’t dismantle the argument. Way more than Alex have been brutalized and killed. And that’s the point. Listen, if you don’t want to arm it’s your choice. It just isn’t going to guarantee your safety.
