Well that makes all the difference, doesn’t it? You said it is legal to carry a loaded weapon to a protest.
What has been happening, incited by the Governor and mayor, are riots, interference, threats, and assaults. The two Dems are the top have called ICE agents the Gestapo, have compared illegal aliens to Anne Frank, may she RIP, and threatened that ICE agents would be killed if they didn’t stop their law enforcement duties.
Under the cloud of all this Dem-generated hatred for law enforcement, this guy shows up with his loaded weapon - and with an additional magazine! - inserts himself into the melee, defies the agents’ orders to get on the curb, and a fight ensues in which the cops became aware that this deranged lunatic had a gun, and they shot before he could kill one or more of them.
And finally, your double standards on this is blatant. Ashli had NO weapon, and she was murdered point-blank. (The Dems not only defended the cop who murdered her, but he was rewarded with a promotion.) Did you defend Ashli and condemn the cop who shot her - an UNARMED veteran?
