Not only did he do that, but was open carrying to make sure the legit protestors weren't ganged up on by the crazies. Remember, he had just gotten off duty as a Life Guard and decided to just walk down the street in an open carry city. He bothered no one, but was ironically, chased down the street and once 3 "peaceful protestors" tackled him and start beating him, he fired in self-defense.
I've watched the video numerous times and that is what happened according to my lying eyes. Anyone know his legal status?
That does not agree with the narrative given by most of the Freerepublic posters. The usual narrative is that Kyle fired back at the people chasing him, then he fell down by tripping, then the guy with the skateboard hit him with the skateboard while he was down. Kyle probably fell down because he was looking backward to see who was chasing.
The usual narrative supports self defense since he was being chased by people while others were yelling that they would do him bodily harm.
