Yav,
Faith is trusting God.
Daring God to prove Himself is putting Him to a foolish test. The Bible explicitly says don't.
Matthew 4:7 (NLT)
Jesus said,
"The Scriptures also say, You must not test the LORD your God.'"
Bringing a gun (with an extra magazine, no less) into a situation he knew would be dangerous was foolish.
I've read that his ex said he was very active protesting during the George Floyd riots, which means he knew exactly what those situations can turn into. This wasn't his first exposure to crowds, chaos and the police.
The woman he was "helping" didn't end up on the ground for no reason. This wasn't a Good Samaritan moment. Neither of them had any business being there in the first place.
I fully support peaceful protest. But you know as well as I do that much of this stopped being peaceful a long time ago.
I'm sorry he's dead. I'm not saying he deserved it, and I'm not blaming him for being killed.
But if you play with matches, sometimes you get burned.
" Imagine being arrested and discovering you've been institutionalized and can't leave. Your illness? Liberalism."
You've just suggested institutionalizing your political opponents, because they disagree with you.
Jesus wept.
