You mean traveling one town over, where he used to work and where his dad lives, an area he had exponentially greater ties to than any of the people who attacked him did?
Gee, wonder why you don't say it that way. Could it be because you're trying to make it sound like he traveled far out of his way to an unfamiliar area, because that helps your narrative about him 'being where he doesn't belong' (while conveniently not considering whether any of his attackers 'belonged' there)? Hoping that the technically-true "cross state lines" obscures the fact that he lived on the border of the other state?
You're absolutely transparent. Don't try this disingenuous garbage on someone who knows the facts and knows about your pathetic rhetorical maneuvers.
He confronted literally no one. And no, existing while armed in a state where open carry is legal doesn't count.
He wasn't even counter-protesting!
Do you know what "confront" means?
Funny we have him on text saying that's what he was doing and on video doing exactly that.
I don't think I'm the one in need of a dictionary.
Oh wow at first I completely missed the totally original claim that the protestors weren't from the area. Tell Fox news I said hi.
Lie. I defy you to link to that video, with timestamp, of him "doing exactly that".
It's not a 'claim'. It's a fact.
