THERE THAT ARE WITH HIM, THAT
WORKS.
>> I TAKE YOUR PREVIEW AND YOUR
WARNING AND I THINK YOU ARE
PROBABLY RIGHT.
LAWRENCE O’DONNELL INTERESTING
CONVERSATION ON SOCIAL MEDIA
TONIGHT BY A GENTLEMAN WHO
BELIEVES WE HAVE BECOME TOO
MILITARIZED GENERALLY AS A
SOCIETY ALL CAMOED UP AND TO NO
ONE’S SURPRISE WE’VE HAD TWO
BASICALLY ENDLESS GENERATION
LONG WARS IN THIS COUNTRY.
A LOT OF PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT
THEY’RE NOT FULLY DRESSED UNTIL
THEY’VE ACCESSORIZED WITH AN AR.
LAST NIGHT FOLLOWING THIS
CONVENTION THAT FEATURED A
SPEAKER IN THE NEWS FOR
BRANDISHING AN AR IN FRONT OF
HIS HOME IN ST. LOUIS, LAST
NIGHT A YOUNG AND APPARENTLY
TROUBLED 17-YEAR-OLD GRABBED HIS
AR TO GO TO KENOSHA AND IS NOW
CHARGED WITH TWO MURDERS.
TONIGHT HERE IS WHAT I WANT TO
PLAY YOU FROM FOX NEWS, TUCKER
CARLSON TOOK ON THIS TOPIC.
>> PEOPLE IN CHARGE FROM THE
GOVERNOR OF WISCONSIN ON DOWN
REFUSED TO ENFORCE THE LAW.
THEY STOOD BACK AND THEY WATCHED
KENOSHA BURN.
SO REALLY SURPRISED THAT LOOTING
AND ARSON ACCELERATED TO MURDER?
HOW SHOCKED ARE WE THAT
17-YEAR-OLDS WITH RIFLES DECIDED
THEY HAD TO MAINTAIN ORDER WHEN
NO ONE ELSE WOULD?
>> LAWRENCE O’DONNELL, YOUR
THOUGHTS?
>> WELL, THAT IS RUPERT MURDOCH
FINANCING VIGILANTEISM, A
CONSCIOUS BUSINESS DECISION MADE
BY RUPERT MURDOCH AND HIS SON
THAT THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT TO
TELL AMERICA.
OF COURSE THERE WAS A VERY BIG
POLICE PRESENCE OUT THERE WHEN
THAT 17-YEAR-OLD WENT OUT THERE.
IN FACT, THE 17-YEAR-OLD WAS
GIVEN A WATER BOTTLE BY POLICE.
SOME OF WHOM CONSIDERED IT TO BE
HELPFUL TO HAVE THESE VIGILANTES
OUT THERE IN THE STREETS DOING
THIS.
IT DOES SEEM AS WE SIT HERE
TONIGHT LIKONE AN INEVITABLE
OUTGROWTH OF TRUMP RHETORIC,
WITH THE CONCEPT OF OPEN CARRY,
AND BRING MY RIFLE TO EVERY
PUBLIC DMONEMONSTRATION.
THERE YOU SEE THIS 17-YEAR-OLD
JUST FIRING AWAY RIGHT THERE.
I’M SUPPOSED TO TALK OVER THIS
AS IF IT’S A NORMAL PIECE OF
VIDEO TO RUN UNDER CABLE NEWS
DIALOGUE.
A KID.
A MISGUIDED KID WHO IS SHOOTING
