"Don't Take Your Guns to Town, Boy"

I agreed with the lady when she said that you shouldn't be either for or against guns unless you know something about them.  She said she got that from her husband who encouraged her to take a class on the subject.  I did not agree with what she said about society because she didn't specify which society.  There is more than one you know.  In Kyle's case, I think he was persuaded to attend the riot by his friends, and they would constitute a society.  I think the lady meant "Society" with a capital "S", however, and I don't believe there is any such thing. 

Okay, maybe it wasn't a race riot, at least not at first.  It was supposed to be about police brutality, specifically towards Black people, and I understand that some White people sided with the Blacks on that issue.  Were the guys Kyle shot aligned with those?  From what I've heard, they just didn't like the idea of somebody openly carrying a gun in their midst.  Funny, though, the cops didn't seem to mind it at all, which leads me to believe that the alleged victims were not on the same side as the cops.  That doesn't necessarily mean they were on the same side with the Blacks either, maybe they were on their own side, I just don't know.  I have not heard that Kyle threatened any of those guys before they attacked him.  Did he?  If he was just carrying his gun slung over his shoulder like he was in the pictures I have seen, it would seem to be none of their business.  Maybe Kyle wouldn't have been attacked if he hadn't been carrying, but maybe he would have been, in which case he would have certainly gotten the worst of it.  Were the owners of any of the buildings that were looted and vandalized openly carrying?  Lyle mistakenly believed that he had been hired to protect one of those buildings.  To attempt a job like that unarmed would have been foolish indeed.  

Speaking of foolish, those guys in Georgia that were convicted of killing that Black jogger likely would never have been charged if they hadn't made a video of the incident and posted it on You Tube.  In the Rittenhouse case, Lyle tried to surrender to the police at the scene, but they chased him away, so he went home.  According to what I have read, his mother persuaded him to turn himself in the next day.  If she hadn't done that, I wonder if anybody would have ever come after him.
