I have no gun and I have no fear

 As I previously said I wasn't too interested in the trial.  I kind of figured that was how it was going to go, the law being the law being the way it is.  I think what the kid did was wrong, and maybe the prosecutors should have charged him with something lesser, disorderly conduct anyone?

It seems to me that for the good of the country it would be wise to discourage meddlers from toting their AR-15s to wherever something is going on that they don't like.  Surely folks will be more likely to do that sort of thing from now on, and surely those after dark rioters will see the need to arm themselves with heavier weaponry, and no good can come of that.

Peculiar that Beagles would think that the Detroit rioters would come to sleepy Cheboygan to shake up the town.  In 1970 when I was living in sleepy Herrin there were antiwar protests in Carbondale twenty miles away, and rumor had it that the good old boys of Herrin were going to get out their shotguns and patrol the dusty streets because they thought that the demonstrators were going to come there and continue the demonstrators.

Why?  Did they think that they were going to all pile into cars and drive twenty miles to some town they had never heard of?  Likewise the guys in Detroit driving almost three hundred miles to what, burn down the town?  Why would they want to do that?  Why would anybody think that they wanted to do that?f

There were demonstrations followed by looting right outside my door in the May of 2020.  But I went out to the store every day without packing heat.  I was never afraid.  

Of course Beagles was not much older than Kyle when he was toting those shotguns in his pickup when he was, I don't know, expecting a Greyhound bus to pull up and let out a load of Detroit rioters.  These days if he lived one state over he would not have to worry about keeping Old Betsy in a box unloaded, he could just brandish his Ar-15 and if he felt like somebody was threatening them he could just blow them away, and Marjorie Greene would be nominating him for a congressional gold metal.  

What could go wrong?
