You are making rash statements which justify your biased stereotypes and assumptions, and citing them as fact. We see this all the time. It's why we had three years of the ignorant Trump-Russia collusion hoax. People were getting a lot of likes for endlessly repeating those lies and falsehoods too.

He was already there.
Apparently he works as a lifeguard at a local pool.
He was doing his part to clean up the city by scrubbing graffiti off of the buildings.
He acted as a medic and tending to small injuries that the protesters had suffered.
He wanted to continue to aid the peaceful protesters and to help local businesses protect themselves from the rioters and looters. Anyone knows that the protesters and rioters can become violent, so he took his gun with him to protect himself IF they became violent, which they did. Who would have known that idiots would attack an armed person..I'm sure most people would never think to do that.

BTW: anyone notice that his shirt is sporting a SIG 556? That's my medium-reach weapon!

But I have a triple-connect mag = 90 rounds!

One thing that has been consistent in the last few months is the utter stupidity of the protesters/rioters. We see it over and over again, people standing in front of moving cars, standing on freeways at night not to mention congregating in large groups during the covid epidemic (exemption granted).
Just this week a school bus arrived in Kenosha from Seattle literally with word "riot" painted on the side. The Seattle group was shocked and outraged that the occupants of the riot bus were arrested while filling multiple gas cans in broad daylight.
Now we have rioters chasing down and attacking an armed 17 year old. He was not carrying a concealed weapon, his gun was there for all to see and he was not the instigator, people seem genuinely surprised that he did not just lay down his gun and allow the rioters to kill him.

The common denominator in all these examples of stupidity, I believe, is drugs. You can see it in the mugshot photos and hear it in the incoherent rhetoric.

If this was clearly self defense...why did the legal system, (that your side supports so much) see fit to indict him on multiple felonies?!


I have to assume this forces you to withdraw your support of the 'system of justice' now?

I would not doubt some are high on drugs. Some of these "protesters" are complete losers, criminals and thugs, and we would all be better off if they took a long walk off a short pier.

Not sure what any of this has to do with Trump and Russia. I'm simply pointing out not everyone agrees with your position. I am simply stating my opinion, just as you and everyone else are.

I see a 17 year old illegally bringing an AR-15 across state lines to a protest. He shoots Rosenbaum who was chasing him. Then he is pointed out as a shooter so the next victims "attacked" a man just as they would "attack" any active shooter, which believe it or not is exactly what he was. He was no longer guarding a building as he claimed to be doing, no he was walking down the street with a very powerful weapon after shooting someone.

Since you brought up drugs...how is it these 'dangerous and illegal drugs' are bought and sold so easily, over so much time? Is it too much for law enforcement to be able to get it under control?
