They fucked his business up, but he went after the wrong targets. I have sympathy for him for losing his business but no sympathy for his getting assaulted because he was attacking random people in his rage with the fire extinguisher.
My principles about not going after the innocent are consistent. This guy responded the wrong way and harmed innocent protesters.

No you didnt dude 
You brought batman into the conversation, i showed you how even batman doesnt dole out vigilante death sentences, and you tried desperately to cover your own dissonance showing.
You failed hard bro

And Jesus Christ even if Batman was a perfect model for Vahn421's vigilantism - it's still a fucking cartoon. I've seen people make political extrapolations from The Sims, Batman, even fuckin' PacMan recently. It's mind-boggling.

Taking the case of George Floyd, I've stated multiple times that if it winds up being that the cop killed Floyd with his knee, the cop should be punished, but we don't know for sure.
Right. Considering the new info that the medical examiner said George Floyd’s lungs were two to three times normal weight during autopsy, indicating a lethal level of fentanyl was present, it is going to be a tough case to win. That George stated several times he couldn't breath before he was wrestled to the ground indicates he may have overdosed. He may have swallowed a dope bindle in his mouth - Court TV has a close up photo, and he clearly has something like a pill or a dope bindle in his mouth.
It's going to be a very difficult prosecution. Notice we are not hearing about this on the news. If George OD'd, many people were killed and businesses destroyed by a wrong assumption by the mob. People, if you fight with the cops, you might get hurt or shot. Why is that so hard for folks to understand?
Yet, the public and police officials are already in agreement that kneeling on someone's head/neck while in handcuffs is no longer an acceptable police tactic.
It's also going to be hard to prove that the kneeling at least didn't prove the main factor in his death. In other words, if the police didn't notice he was already have difficulty breathing because of the drugs they were negligent by not using caution. The police heard him state MANY different times he couldn't breath and they completely ignored it. It doesn't matter if drugs were the reason, they ignored his medical needs and he died as a result. That outcome is now on them as a result.

Valuable life lessons from sims 
Vahn thinks sim city was created by god for life to mirror, and not by man to mirror our current system.
Dude forms his political opinions from fallout and sims and wonders why his ludicrous opinions are constantly attacked on this site.

Fallout: New Vegas is one of the greatest games ever made and will provoke thoughts relating to the reality of the human condition more than almost any other game, move, or book in existence.
The only reference I ever made to Sim City was the idea that you put a PD station down in an area and the crime rate drops, because this concept seems to be very hard for a lot of people around here.

Wow dude you're even further gone than I thought...
I've played new vegas and it is no where near the most thought provoking piece of artistic expression "in existence."
I honestly cant believe you actually believe that. You must not read very much cause that comment is just asinine dude.

I said, "one of" not THE game. And I stand by it.
What's your standard for a thought provoking game, then? I'm waiting.

We're not laughing at "one of" in relation to how good you think the game is. We're laughing at you for the "will provoke thoughts relating to the reality of the human condition more than almost any other game, movie or book in existence". I'll leave the younger people to argue about what game is best, but but comparing it to the most thought provoking movies or books is just a silly kid thing to say.

If you've never played Fallout: New Vegas, you really can't speak about this.
