I wonder if he immigrated here...
I've heard it said over and over that people who immigrate here (and assimilate themselves) show a more profound understanding of what it means to live in America and be free.

Not to try to take anything away from those of us who are born here and will sacrifice for this country, but I have seen/heard evidence of this again and again.

My view (and apparently I'm in the minority here) is that he showed no understanding of what it means to live in America and be free. As soon as he saw a symbol that he disagreed with, he chose to react violently. That certainly isn't respecting the freedom that he was supposedly defending - exactly the opposite, in fact.

He may have or, such as is the case in our family, we're of the apparent similar ancestral origin and have been American citizens for now seven generations.
