The brandishing of a weapon deserves appropriate consequences but A FUCKING HATE CRIME FOR PAINTING OVER A MARXIST message it just silly. I feel for these people, i've considered paiting over some of my towns big dumb blm murals. this makes we think twice.
If you're not drawing your pistol to shoot someone in self-defense, then what you're doing is threatening violence for the purpose of intimidation and coercion. Especially if you're the one who started the verbal altercation with a group of people, and then got out of your vehicle to confront them. I can't believe anyone would condone that, unless they're a thug or some sort of extreme anarchist. I would never draw my CCW, except for the purpose of self-defense; it has nothing to do with "pacifism." Trying to win an argument isn't a valid reason to draw down on someone.
If you feel you are in imminent danger of bodily harm, then that's a legitimate reason... but that's a pretty difficult case to make when you're the one who proactively got out of your vehicle and confronted a group of people (as is the case with the Hispanic gentlemen who was arrested). If that group was in the middle of beating on someone, then you'd have a reason to rush to the victim's defense, but as I understand it, the guy just didn't like their political message. Political disagreement isn't a legitimate reason to brandish a firearm, and to point that out doesn't make one a "pacifist." Advocating legal and responsible gun ownership isn't pacifism.
No, i believe in the law. I don't care what sides breaks it. When you say your side can do something wrong just because you happen to agree with it's ideology makes you no better than the left. In fact that's their exact hive mind mentality.
I feel like people here don't actually know what brandishing a weapon means. If you're gunna pull a gun, you pull it when you intend to use it, not to threaten with it.

given what I have seen, I find it highly unlikely he brandished the firearm for no reason
If that's the case then he should have taken the shot. You can't just brandish a weapon to threaten people.

Yup, completely agree

Alternately you are informing them of deadly consequences if they attack you.

With all the recent violence committed during BLM riots there should be absolutely no punishment for simply brandishing a weapon in their presence,
