hmm, he did a great job defending himself but he also went to a riot to LARP and crossed state lines to do it.

Rule Number One in the Cold Civil War, no Republican, conservative, Christian or Libertarian is going to get a fair trial in a Democrat controlled area. The incident will always be framed in the worst possibly light to the detriment of the non-Democrat. Even if this boy eventually wins, it's going to take years and it'll hurt his family and that's the intent. Pick our battlefields carefully. The Democrats are trying to bait patriots into these areas to scapegoat them for the unrest.

He's a LARPer because he's not a soldier, law enforcement, a trained militia member operating under a chain of command. He's not a politician, a member of the community, a stake holder, a property owner or an interested party. He has no direct connection to the events in Kenosha other than he had a gun and decided to go there and walk around with it. What do you call someone who just goes to city experiencing unrest and walks around with a gun? I call that a LARPer.

Oh, LOL, you said, "the only reason the rest of us aren't out there doing that exact same thing"...oh no, no. I'm not there because 1) I have a job 2) I have a family 3) I defend my own property first, not someone else's 4) It's none of my business. It's the government and police and the national guard that should handle it.

Legally, an interested party is a party that has some sort of tie in to the people or assets or stake. An interested party isn't some guy who likes watching livestreams on 'puter. I guess a livestream could be an interested party if it was making money from the livestream and the government shut down livestreaming from the area...then maybe they're an interested party but still iffy.

If this happened in my new awesome little neighborhood in greater Minnesota, I would step up for patrols and to observe and record and all that. I'd do it in an instance. I'd organize everything from training to schedules to cooking dinner and baking a cake. heck, I'd have trained PAs on retainer (okay, that one's a stretch) I did it while I was in Minneapolis. For years I ran and coordinated a neighborhood watch...we took license plates numbers, watched houses that seemed a bit off, called on things that seemed weird, even took some people who were open to it to a gun range. Yet for all our efforts, crime never went down, only up and everything I put in my garden was still stolen. However, let me tell ya, once you bring a weapon outside the home, brandish it or carry it, whatever the laws are, in a Democrat controlled area, the law is going to come down on you and doesn't even matter if the cops agree with you or that you weren't doing anything illegal...they'll find something. It's all partisanship. That's what everyone who thinks they're going to go and fight or protect or defend or whatever has to understand...Democrats WANT the chaos. They think the rioters are RIGHT. It's not about the law, or the constitution or anything you and I would think is good or bad for a community...its all about what Democrats want to control and want to punish. They would rather destroy their own cities than do what is right. That's what we're seeing and there is no way to stop them unless those people are voted out and power is taken from them.
