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.

Definitely not my intention. I think this guy is an absolute scumbag. I just hate some of the rhetoric around it and that a lot of the attention seems to be the typical left vs right BS. Some people seem to think he should go to jail simply because he's a right-wing nutjob, the only thing I mean to defend here is that while that's deplorable, that isn't against the law.
My big fear at the moment regarding this story is that if he is indeed found not guilty that he'll then be treated like some kind of hero by the extreme right. We've already seen it sadly.
No matter how this goes the wedge gets driven deeper
