Law and order means a stable environment in which people's lives and property are protected by the state. There was not law and order in Kenosha as the state refused to stabilize the situation. Because of this government failure, citizens acted to protect their lives and property

So the shooter isn't responsible for his own actions, I understand your point. I disagree, because I'm not an anarchist.

I am the one advocating for the state to resolve the situation. This makes me the antithesis of an anarchist. I am the one calling for government protection of property rights. This makes me the antithesis of an anarchist. I'm not an anarchist, so think of a new retort.

You're the one making excuses for this kid. I'm just going by the words you choose.

Which words? At no point prior to my last tweet did I use the word "anarchist." From the beginning I cited the need for government intervention.

Your words. Absolving people of responsibility for their own actions is anarchy.

Anarchy is the lack of a central power with authority to use force. Anarchy was the state of Kenosha that night. Anarchy, again, is what I oppose. He is absolved precisely because he took responsibility and tried to protect a community in the flames of anarchy.

You do not oppose anarchy if you absolve criminals of responsibility for their actions.
