Note, I’m neither American, nor heavily in that scene. I’m merely signal boosting what I feel is important information countering lib propaganda.

    That situation is one of his own creation. He wasn’t marching with his weapon, he hid it and only pulled it out in the middle.

    Come on, man, you can’t tell me that that isn’t incredibly suspicious. If I saw someone do that at a protest, I would shoot them too. I’m not saying that the peacekeeper didn’t fuck up, he didn’t check his background, but his actions were definitely reasonable, given the situation.

      I think their only mistake is going to a lib march when plenty of anarchists warned others to stay far away from it. I also think what you’re doing is victim blaming.

        Except he isn’t a victim. He made a conscious choice to do something that a reasonable person would use force to stop. He wasn’t “peacefully” walking, like the OP suggests. He went behind a wall and reappeared with a long rifle. That’s the kind of thing right-wing terrorists would do.
