Wow. An employee is tasked with taking out the trash, finds an illegally parked car blocking the gatea to the trash bins, he cant go home till the trash is properly disposed of, asks “Whose car is parked in front of the dumpsters?” and the car owner gets abusive. The employee waits till the irate customer who owned the illegally parked car leaves to finish his job so he can go home. A few minutes later, he goes out to finish his job. The irate customer is waiting on him, threatens him, assaults him, and he APPROPRIATELY defends himself against a larger, actively threatening aggressor. BUT BLOOMINGTONS LIBERAL DEMOCRATS HATE GUNS, SO LETS LYNCH THIS YOUNG BLACK MAN WHO LEGALLY DEFENDED HIMSELF, JUST BECAUSE HE USED A GUN.
