Where did you see that photo? This one with his obituary appears to be him as a teenager, pre-military, and he looks like an average American kid experimenting with hair gel, like many kids did in the 50s to look like Elvis:

The man who shot and killed Zachary Brian Arnold on 15 May of 2021, in Fort Smith, Arkansas, Wallace A. West, was justified in the shooting, according to Sebastian County Prosecutor Dan Shue. The incident was covered by AmmoLand previously.
More facts about the incident have been revealed. Wallace fired two shots, not one, as previously assumed. He missed the first shot. It was revealed Arnold had fired 93 shots when he was shot and killed by West. From nwaonline.com:
West, identified in the Police Department news release Wednesday as an off-duty employee of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, woke to the sound of gunshots, Shue wrote. He ran outside and saw Arnold shooting into Hicks’ apartment.
West then grabbed a bolt action rifle, which was scoped and loaded, from his gun cabinet, stepped onto his balcony and fired once at Arnold, missing him because he was “shaking so badly,” according to his witness statement.
Arnold turned and fired several rounds at West.
Arnold went back into his apartment, presumably to reload, and he came back outside, Shue wrote. He began walking down the complex, rifle in hand, according to West. West took a second shot, which struck Arnold in the head and killed him.
The article reports that West was an “off-duty employee of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security”. It is unclear if West was a sworn officer or another employee. The Department of Homeland Security employs a great many people, about 240,000. It is unclear how many are sworn officers, probably less than half.
West was acting as an armed Samaritan when he shot Arnold, who had become mentally unbalanced. Arnold had previously served in Afghanistan and suffered from PTSD. This was a tragedy for both families.

Reason 100billion that the two amendment is essential.
Where were the cops? They probably strutted around afterwards in tactical gear looking around like they were doing something.

Arnold looks to be gay, and it’s not just the earrings. Feminine facial features.
And this matters because...
Because some people will say: See, he was a trained officer. Only trained officers can defend people!
As noted in the article, the FBI works hard to classify defenses by citizens int those by police/security people.
We must restrict the availability of firearms to prevent them from falling into the hands of criminals and psychotics so that there is only a one in a million chance that an armed government agent/officer - off duty or not - is available to stop the violence.

Looks almost normal there. Maybe before he was playing for the other team?
