On Friday, September 29, 2023, former President Donald Trump spoke at the G.O.P. Convention in Anaheim, California. During his speech, Trump stated that he would stop looters by shooting them on the way out of the stores.
Trump's comments were met with mixed reactions. Some people praised Trump for his tough stance on crime, while others condemned him for inciting violence.
The National Rifle Association (NRA) praised Trump's comments, saying that they showed that Trump was "a strong leader who is not afraid to stand up to criminals."
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) condemned Trump's comments, saying that they were "an invitation to violence."
It is important to note that Trump's comments about shooting looters are illegal. In the United States, it is illegal to use deadly force against someone who is not posing a threat to your life or the lives of others.
Trump's comments are also dangerous. They could lead to people being shot and killed for petty crimes.
It is important to remember that looters are not always criminals. Sometimes, people loot because they are desperate. They may have lost their jobs or their homes. They may be hungry or scared.
We should not shoot people for looting. We should help them. We should provide them with food, shelter, and jobs. We should help them get back on their feet.
