I'm not sure what you expect me to say here Jason.

Riots and property destruction are abhorrent, but is shooting the people responsible for them not even more so?

You describe the death during a violent storming of your place of law as an "execution", the girl I saw shot was climbing through a broken window to illegally entetr the place where your laws are made and say what you like about it, that's not peaceful. You approve of guns but disprove when a police officer discharges one and kills a trespasser in your house of legislation - seems like a double standard to me.

Japan isn't peaceful and crime free, I don't think I've ever said that, what I said was there's no gun death there, because there are no guns - how can that be a bad thing?

You mention Kenosha as being one story in 1000 and this is exactly the point my article was attmepting to make, if there are 1000 towns or cities (an exaggeration I'm sure, but if not, then you are in even more trouble than even I imagined) where guns prevented violent crime and property damage, it demonstrates exactly what I meant in the article - Rule of law no longer applies and the USA, bogged down by Constitutional constraints is very much in need of reform - will that reform be violent or peaceful?

I'll be honest, I see your country, admittedly as an outsider, as on the verge of a civil war. I'm sure you're able to prove me wrong - I hope for your sakes I am wrong, but the evidence I'm seeing all points towards me being right and your own opening comments in this reply, "people may react badly to either... verdict" indicate this current court case may be the catalyst for it.
