    People are attacking him because he has a big gigantic deadly gun

    He has a right to carry a gigantic gun.

    goading

    Carrying a gun is not considered goading by any sane person.

      It absolutely is considered goading. If lifting your shirt to reveal a gun holstered can be considered a threat (one that police can legally shoot you over) then carrying a rifle at a protest and starting shit with the protestors is also a threat.

      He didn’t go there to make his voice heard — he went there to intimidate and kill.

        If a person threatens someone and gets attacked, he cannot claim self-defense. The jury decided he did not threaten them. It would have been murder otherwise and he would be in prison.

            So why don’t we have you decide instead of juries? You clearly know better than the rest of the population. /s

              /uj

              If every version of you present on a jury could be replaced with someone like me, the justice system would probably function better than it does now.
