If you honestly look at the videos, and there a lot of this incident, you have to realize that the kid was being chased by a lot of really pissed off people and must have been scared to death. But he should have been convicted of the reckless endangerment charge, in my opinion. He was certainly a dumb kid going to another city armed like he was.
I bet these political people just scanned to stories and did not take the time. And your comments of what they might want to do are crazy. But, you shouldn't be allowed to run around a protest carrying a gun like they do in some of these states, or enter a statehouse carrying guns as they did in Michigan.
Who in their right mind would go to these violent protests anyway? Then chase after someone carrying a gun.
Sorry to say, live by the sword, die by the sword.
