...An alt-right reporter was attacked by the antifa’s and he pulled his concealed weapon, yelled at the crowd beating him to back up, and he swept the crowd, though not with his finger in the trigger guard.
he was convicted of a felony and sentenced to several years in jail.

Crazy Portland judge, I guess.

I saw the video and the still pictures of that incident. The Judge was not being crazy. The "reporter" was provoking the crowd to the fullest extent of his abilities.

I think the decision was correct. If he wants to be an armed reporter, that is OK with me. But he was a lot more than a reporter. He was trying to provoke the crowd into attacking him. And when he eventually got the response he wanted, he brandished his weapon.

IMHO he is too stupid to carry a gun. He was confronting a crowd in order to exercise his ego. Not a valid reason to brandish.

It is never valid to provoke a confrontation and then threaten deadly force.
