MSNBC’s Chris Hayes Gets Schooled After Wondering Why Armed Militiamen Weren’t Treated Like Minneapolis Rioters
There are times when you read a hot take from someone where you ask yourself “How on earth did this person come to such a bizarre conclusion?”
Such was the case for me and many others after MSNBC’s Chris Hayes weighed in on the massive rioting and looting that took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota last night after the police-involved death of George Floyd.
Hayes’s take was different from other crazy hot takes from the left only in how he compared the police reaction to the Minneapolis riots to the police reaction to the armed militiamen in Michigan who were part of a “reopen” march a few weeks ago that eventually made its way into the statehouse.
Here’s how Hayes compared the two. Make sure to watch the video clip all the way through to really get the full sense of just how ridiculous his comparison was:
This left a lot of people including me scratching their heads, and wondering how the hell he didn’t understand the differences between the two:
As the Federalist’s Sean Davis also pointed out, other members of the mainstream media will take a different view in their comparisons of the Michigan protesters vs. the Minneapolis rioters because narratives:
Case in point:
Also, maybe someone should show Hayes this video clip of what Minneapolis looks like today in the aftermath of rioters burning down everything in sight last night, and then wonder again why the police reactions differed:
Morning after the protests and riots in Minneapolis of the police killing George Floyd. It’s eerie
The video footage speaks for itself.
-Justin Thyme-Two cents worth of opinion. Speaking for myself, (IMO) in my opinion what happened to George Floyd was without question a tragic homicide, call it accidental or unintentional manslaughter it did result in a death that should not have happened. And justice must be issue served. Does that death justify protests? IMO Yes! Does it justify looting and chaos? No! To perpetrate violence against people or property that in no way had anything to do with the death cannot be justified. And has potential to provoke more injury and possibly more deaths.
That being said, we get to the Chris Hayes comments about why the police did not handle law abiding citizenry exercising the 2nd Amendment exactly as it was intended to do. We by now have read or been told exactly what that amendment says:
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
The very purpose of a militia is 'being necessary to the security of a free state'. To do so by bearing arms is a right and for what I call a directive to that militia in order to carry that out. It is more than obvious the security of the state was in or is in jeopardy when violent riots, looting. And it is pathetic to try and make this about a militia that would use it as an excuse to shoot black people. When the rioters, arsonists and looters are both black and white. And the militia is made up of both black and white.
