Counter-protester who pulled a gun on Black Lives Matter protesters in Florida won't be charged

The police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin has sparked protests around the country.

Yesterday, in front of the Florida Historic Capitol building, a counter-protester pulled a gun on Black Live Matter protesters after getting knocked to the ground.

After reviewing the incident, The City of Tallahassee has confirmed that the individual, whose identity has not been released, will not face charges.

As the Tallahassee Democrat reported, the city stated in a press release that the individual had a license to carry a concealed weapon. The city also pointed out that the protest was not permitted, and protesters did not coordinate with the police department ahead of time to coordinate and ensure safety.

If a person pulls a gun on you, then it's self-defense to knock the hell out of that person.

We. all know if the roles and races were reversed and a black man pulled a gun on a group of white protesters, he'd be charged with a crime ... if he made it out of there alive.

All of the above? That's the buildup to victim blaming. The protesters didn't do this, this or that. But the guniarrhea-man had a right to conceal carry. So, IOW, the protesters brought it on themselves.

The "City of Tallahassee" members that released that statement is full of hate-filled shit.
