For those against the Death Penalty

Also, at that time I used to shock myself at Breitbart. There was little to no condemnation of the deed, but much deep condemnation of leftists showing up in the first place. To many, it was their own fault, not the fault of the poor guy who just acted in self-defense, threatened from those protesting leftist enemies.

Death penalty for that guy would certainly rally up some people even more. While not really having a positive effect.

That's the danger in misinformation.

There are violent protestors out there. This instance, it did not appear to be the case. But with propaganda sites like Breitbart pushing the narrative that all left-leaning protestors are violent, it's not unreasonable to think some right-leaning people could feel threatened, regardless of the circumstances.
