White or Black militia groups should not be going to protests with guns to protests that are not about gun rights
In my opinion that is escalation and it is going to lead to more killing
especially where there are protesters and counter protesters in the same location.
No the problem is that protesters should not loot, riot, or engage in violent behavior. Doing those things makes them terrorists. That is why the racist BLM and Antif things are domestic terrorists.
None of that changes the fact that a group of civilians with assault rifles with hundreds of protesters around is a dangerous situation and should be handled by police and National guard if necessary or professional security services if necessary.
This is a much broader issue than this one kid
The broader issue is the police & NG were doing nothing to stop the rioters (not protesters) from burning and looting, which is the reason Kyle and his friends were at that building that night.
Owners (residents, renters) have a right to be there and a right to defend; their rights don't go away because a crowd of looters and arsonists come to them.
