    partially because he got into legal hassles for using an AR-15 to defend himself against people who wanted to harm him.

      My guy, he crossed state lines with a firearm that wasn’t his, to go to a protest where the only people injured and killed were by his trigger finger because he put himself that situation. That’s not defending yourself. He’s functionally a home invader crying over the dead body of the homeowner he killed because the homeowner brandished a skateboard.

        No, no, his friend bought him the gun because he couldn’t buy it himself. But somehow that wasn’t a straw purchase.

        poor analogy.

        Home invaders want to rob and those in the homes are innocent victims, and it was a glock, not a skateboard.

        I have little tolerance for looters and vandals, some of whom might be wp:agent provocateurs.

      I don’t know why I’m bothering to feed a troll. But he literally travelled there in order to put himself in a situation where he might have to defend himself because he wanted to fucking shoot someone. He purposefully created the opportunity to shoot someone without having to “technically” be the attacker.

        and you’re probably right, and the rioters and looters (assuming they are rioters and looters) accommodated him.
