He wanted to go to the riots with the rifle.
Sadly I do think he should get off, but I don't think we should be shifting all this blame.
His made conscious decisions to be at the riot armed.

Absolutely, but does nobody else see how scary this thing is as a whole? And how this trial isn’t going to help anything!
What’s that line from Jojo rabbit? “You aren’t a nazi, you’re a boy who wants to dress in a silly costume and be a part of a club”. The guy is a product of the environment that has been created, and the wedge is being driven deeper and deeper. Villianizing him (at all costs mind you, his crying face is now the most popular meme out there) as the primary focus isn’t going to do anything. I’m worried about that country.
I’m sure as #### not defending him being there at all, especially armed. And I’m not expecting people to feel sympathy for him.
