He didn’t live with his dad. If my grandma lives in Seattle does that make it my neighborhood.
Also I would feel a lot different if he was protecting his dads house, he wasn’t. He was supposedly protecting a car dealership that didn’t ask him to.

Here's a thought from an everyday concealed carrier. ALL of us....understand this: if us law-abiding gun carriers saw him coming down the street with that gun?
Everyone of us would've had him in a dozen sights...the min he turned the corner.
Man w gun. Walking down street. No one knew at that moment anything about the facts...but I'd have sighted him, locked on...and waited...he was somebody shooting in the street.
I'd have dropped him ...no hesitation.

Anne..may I add? As a 1st Responder...yes...I may have dropped a threat...but as an EMT...I'd also...go into lifesaving mode...even if I shot them.
There's no mixing that up..injured? Treated...like RIGHT NOW...even if it was me that shot him. He wouldn't be a threat-down...and down- he needs medical ASAP.
Neutralized. Treated. Transported. To save his life....

What do you consider to be a "wannabe"?
Someone who was going through the steps to be in law enforcement? Someone who was willing to stand up for a community that the police wouldn't?
But again, you are condemning one person when there were several there doing the exact same thing.

What question did I repeat to you that you answered the first time?
If they had not been rioting, he would not have had a need to protect himself now would he?
And if he had not been carrying said rifle, he would be. Would the ones who killed him be in jail or on trial for doing so? More than likely not.

How so?
Did he originate the "harms way" for instance?
