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.

Shooting someone in self defense does not make one a criminal.

That's for the criminal justice system to decide.
