very poor judgement in putting himself there, no question. doesn’t mean he didn’t have a reasonable reason to fear for his life in that moment.

the rioters are breaking the law. obviously. anger isn’t justification for hurting someone or destroying property. that’s why.

so protesters or rioters. cant reasonably have a reason to fear for their life in that moment. From a guy with a Gun. Because they may or may not be breaking the law. And the guy with the gun was there to bring order so hes cool?.

if it’s an open carry state ( i don’t know if it is), then seeing a guy with a gun isn’t cause to fear for your
life. not unless he was threatening them.

Oh please you open carry an Ar 15 or ak 47 or any other long arm to just walk down the street or at Walmart your a tool a wannabe ... it's that simple.

if you pop in for gas on your way to the range that's normal ...

I know jim walking around with a long gun is benign ,, he was just their exercising his Rights ,

SO let me ask you this, if you break into someones house and they shoot you, do you value their stuff more than your life? I mean you inserted yourself into that situation , right?

Poor judgement isn’t illegal.

I think he was a dumbass for going, but he had as much right to be there as the protesters.

Tweety has no interest in descalating the conflict
As claimed by Kellyanne Conway, this conflict is to Tweety’s advantage
Luckily Americans are not that gullible

American leaders have always stood together to denounce overreaches by people inside and outside the United States
Tweety has failed to do that on numerous occasions
He’s the person elected that was never imagined by the founding fathers
And he’s your hero

A “Loser” is someone who supported Trump in 2016. A “Sucker” is someone who still does.
