... this was not open carry, this was someone on a mission.

If he felt in danger he should have driven away.

The guy was obviously looking for trouble and should have been locked up. Until a trial his guns should be confiscated.

If violence occurs, it will 100% be caused by some MAGA asshat. (But the protesters will be blamed 109% by Trump and his cult).

Idiot MAGA guy goes to a rally alone appearing to argue and get in the face of protesters before he was head butted. Albeit not the right response from a protester, then the said idiot retreats to get his gun and return brandishing it for all to see cause he felt “threatened”. The whole self defense argument went off the rails post Trayvon Martin where now any sane person would say “if you felt threatened then leave”. Now we allow this BS in this state where if you feel threatened you can just open carry around d thousands of people with no consequences.

They've got their president and he's doing exactly what he said he was going to do and very few seem able to stop him. So why are his followers still so very, very angry?

Obviously a co-conspirator. Close enough to find out what they were arguing about.

And the MAGA was the one who was pushing offense against the group, until he wasn't.

and started a ruckus. IMO, police should have arrested him and by not doing so they were derelict in their job.
