For many on this thread, the law is the problem, and, speaking for myself, that's why explaining that R wasn't breaking the law doesn't render the case "simple."
A question for you, though: would you agree that acquittal sends the message that people who are not police can legally walk through a riot open carrying a rifle, and kill people drawn to it, because they have a right to open carry and defend themselves? It may send other messages too, but I want to know if you agree it would definitely send that one.
Well that's what sucks.... Whether the acquittal sends that message or not, the law does. I hate open carry, and I hate people that do it at protests. I hate when people take it upon themselves to go protect property that isn't theirs. That's law enforcement and the Guard's job. Private citizens only get in the way, and I feel like armed citizens (open carrying) only agitate the situation. I don't know for sure, but I think that kid is part of a culture that I really don't like. From what little I've seen of him he's into some things that your average 17 to 18 year olds aren't... But if I remove my personal biases from the situation, he's not guilty. It's a senseless act though.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.
