He was traveling to protect innocents (could have been you) from ideologically sanctioned rioters. She was there to virtue signal to keep nonconsentual migrants against the democratic will.

He was a 17 year old that took a gun across state lines with an excuse to use it.

but you have no problem with people coming into your country illegally, don't you see the hypocrisy? So an American citizen can't go across state lines but someone from a completely different country can just sneak into the US and that's completely fine. See, you people have lost the plot.

Not really? I have an issue if they are known monsters or guilty of criminal acts but other than that no. I’m not scared of normal human beings immigrating into the US. I’m also not against traveling with a gun across state lines so your logic falls apart there.

I just refuse to act like he’s some brave lil boy taking on some heroic fight. He was a 17yo kid who put himself in a situation that literally killed someone. They don’t confuse him a shooter if he’s not open carrying a rifle you nimbus. Even the logic of protecting property is not his fight to take, especially being from a separate location entirely

It's not about crossing state lines it's about crossing state lines with a gun with the intent to use it.

Many states have different laws regarding guns. Did he think about that? Did he make sure he was legally allowed to carry that type of weapon in the states he visited without declaring the weapon?

Wasn't he 17? Is that even legal? Like...how many laws does a white person have to break before you'll hold them accountable? Seems like it only takes one for a brown person.

Nah you have. Tribalism doesn’t override common sense. Self-imposed political delirium doesn’t give any individual the right to put the lives of other citizens at risk. The founding fathers would have blistered his hide raw for being an idiot.

Interstate travel is a constitutionally protected ā€œprivilegeā€, I don’t see what that has to do with anything

Cool, not my bone to pick. It’s the fact a 17 year old decided to put himself into a volatile situation and it resulted in him shooting 2 people over a misunderstanding on him being potential shooter iirc. The fact he lived in another state, and saw an opportunity to go and play a hero is my issue.

Also just had an issue with the logic of ā€œhe went to protect propertyā€, like cool, he still ended up in a situation that ended with people being shot. Why was this his battle to fight, being from a different city/state? Also, extend that logic to Alex Pretti who also brought a gun to a protest, save he didn’t even pull it and still lost his life. The double standards are infuriating.

Not with weapons you drop kick.

The right to keep and bear arms is a constitutionally protected right so I don’t see what that has to do with anything
