"If he wasn't there trying to be defiant"
Who the fuck died and made those rioters Emperors of The United States of America? The rioters are the only ones to blame, Kyle had absolutely no part in starting the violence. He didn't provoke jack shit. He did the right thing, that we're all taught to do when raised in a decent household. He actively assisted his community. He stepped up when the authorities deserted their posts.
He did the proper thing and refused to be enslaved by terror and violence, but instead endeavored to help everyone.
Just take your anti-American bullshit and shove it next to your government mandated GPS tagged selfie.

What the fuck

I'm kinda confuzzeled as well

Your best bet is going to be looking up the footage of the actual trial. It's only the stereotypically right-wing sources that are being somewhat fair, with virtually the entire rest of the media trying to crucify Kyle in spite of the evidence and testimony.
Here's a sneak peak of how bad it is: The prosecutor tried to question Kyle exercising his right to remain silent. In front of the jury.
That's a day-0 mock trial no-no. And people are even trying to even reframe that as evidence that the judge is a white-supremacist or sympathizer.

There's a lot of white south and central Americans, too.
It's just that too many bad people have too much money in trying to divide my people by color.

Oh, so you're a racist. That explains everything, iccarus.

No.
He was provided with a rifle while in the town his dad lived where Kyle also went to work everyday. Where he cleaned litter and graffiti, offered medical aid, weathered constant harassment, volunteered to protect local businesses from further destruction, and put out at least one dumpster fire that criminals were attempting to crash into a gas station.
Watch the fucking trial. Even the surviving bad guy admitted to being the aggressor.

"Based on this, I can take a rifle to a riot, and as soon as i feel threatened, open fire under the guise of self defense. of course people will say "why the f are you carrying a rifle" and challenge me for it, but that's just the point of carrying a rifle."
.
No, fuck no. That's not how any of it works! None of anything you've typed is how anything works! Are you doing this deliberately?
And your entire second comment can be dismissed out of hand, as it is irrelevant to the entire case.

Well, that kinda is the point of the nukes, in my plan. A glimpse into how terrible things could be of people keep looking for reasons to kill eachother. Let humanity look to the skies and see a common enemy, at worst.
People don't like to admit it, but atomic bombs did more for prolonged peace than anything else in history. Nevermind the tech advances of the 20th.

They should definitely let you have the time machine, my plan would've been a US-German-Ottoman WW1.5 Victory followed by the mysterious killings of several otherwise historical figures and also a nuclear detonation or three to scare the shit out of everyone for a purpose I'm sure I could articulate if I had a few hours

One quibble, xvarnah. I'm pretty sure the Kenosha riots weren't over Floyd, but Blake. Not a possible overdose, but a rapist violating restraining order, ignoring officers, shrugging off pepper spray, reaching into a vehicle for a weapon while attempting to kidnap children, and ultimately being praised by our VP as a hero after cops finally shot him.

He didn't "bring a rifle to oppose a riot". He went to Kenosha to help the city he worked and spent most days of the week in. He cleaned the messes from the night before, offered medical aid to whoever needed it, and stood ready to defend life, his own or others, from possible aggressors.
His only mistake? Stopping assholes from sending a burning dumpster to a gas station.
Then they tried to shoot him, tried to unlawfully disarm him, ignored his attempts to get to the police, tried to stomp his head in, bash his skull in, shoot him after feigning surrender, and the poor illegally armed felon who tried to execute him only regretted that he didn't kill the kid who was running to the police after being forced to defend his life from multiple assailants already.
If anything the rifle was a deterent, and I am terrified to imagine what those criminals, one of them a serial rapist of children, would have done to him if he were defenseless.

He killed his entire clan because the story would've ended too soon if he did the sensible thing and reached out to all the involved players and spelled out exactly what would happen if everyone refused to change course.

And it's only a misdemeanor *if* they ignore the details of the relevant code.

He didn't "invite confrontation". He prepared for it.
Does keeping a fire extinguisher invite arson? Does an aid bag invite injury? Does a seatbelt invite reckless driving? Especially from others?
Educate your victim-blaming ass.

I mean. If through some tragedy Kyle does end up in prison, he'll have a good spot in the hierarchy. Felons hate pedos and rapists, as well as anyone who victimized the elderly. And Kyle stacked all of the above

Doesn't matter anyways, it was just a misdemeanor at worst.
