So do we support Pretti’s right to carry while he was destroying the tail light on an operational ice vehicle, too? There are no 2A rights while a crime is being committed, obviously.
Marxist insurrectionists are using passive aggressive tactics to goad federal law enforcement into exactly what happened in this case. Don’t be duped and give them aid.
Apparently, that wasn't worth arresting him ... and any weapon he might have had at the time was irrelevant to damaging the vehicle (an act which apparently was not worth arresting him) ... since it wasn't worth arresting him, it can't be construed as impairing his right to be armed.
And thus we see an aspect of the problem: a rioter was allowed to riot without being arrested, encouraging further (and worse) riotous conduct.
People who didn't riot at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021 were hunted down, arrested, and held under the vilest conditions in prison without having actually committed a crime.
People who do commit riot in various cities throughout these United States are left free to loot, burn, assault, and commit other crimes without fear of arrest much less imprisonment.
It's called "anarcho-tyranny".
