This is my issue with the whole thing. This 17 year old boy, presumably still in high school, is permitted to travel to another state with an AR15 in order to “protect” businesses? He also said he wanted to provide medical care. Is he a doctor or even a junior EMT? Why was he putting himself in that situation? What parent of a teenager would give the green light for their young son to possibly get killed over some anonymous business being looted? I see that he had no choice but to protect himself, but that is besides my point. The whole story is odd to me
“The whole story is odd to me”
I think so too. I question what group he was a member of.

Yes it is.

I think it is very possible that he was there with family members and/or friends that he might have known the owners of the car lot and was trying to defend it. Living less than 12 miles away means he was a local unlike the felons who chased him.
