The whole reason I wouldn't have a gun in that situation is because I wouldn't kill someone in that situation. When you bring a gun to a chaotic situation you make the decision before ever walking out the door that you are ready to kill. That's what that means. I am not sure why people like to act as if he just found the gun lying there and made a split second decision.
If you don't think a broad depersonalization of the protesters on the part of these wannabe cop blue lives matter folks is part of this narrative, you're in denial. He came to a town he didn't live in to defend property he had no connection to, possibly with deadly force, and he did that largely because he saw the people on the "other side" as enemies.
But what you or I would do isn't really the point. I get that he was acting out of fear rather than aggression. I don't dispute that at all. What I am saying is that he didn't judge his situation correctly, which is easy to do in a chaotic situation when you're a scared little boy running around with a fucking AR-15.
As for why people were chasing him, the first guy wasn't even a protester he was literally a mentally ill guy there to pick up his meds because he was in the middle of a.manic episode. He was being crazy and yelling at people the whole night but everyone except for Kyle had the common sense not to engage with him and left him alone.
The other people chasing him were trying to disarm an active shooter.
