Good thinking! What good is to come from joining a large group of people to protest, especially with the covid situation and the number of protests that start out being peaceful and end up with property being destroyed and people seriously hurt from mob violence. One person has no control of what ever instigators are able to conjure up to get the mayhem started.

He drove to protest, and armed himself for protection. Any competent defense lawyer can blow that BS you just wrote up.

I loved it the most how the cops, knowing there was gunfire in the area, just drove past him.
Who trains these people?

17. His family will spend a fortune defending him against the system. Even getting charges dropped will cost him big time.
And evidently one guy was wounded. He'll be talking to a lawyer, too.
It will be a long time before his family sleeps comfortably again. Their bank account may never recover.
My gun stays at home, ready to do its duty from inside my house.
