If you travel over state lines as part of some white "militia" and you shoot 3 people and kill 2 of them, it's not self defense, it's murder.
Stop saying Jacob Blake was armed with a knife because he wasn't. They found a knife under the floor board of his car, those are two different things. That's no justification for a cop to shoot him seven times in the back.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
