He was literally filmed that night watching Antifa Members leave a CVS, where he said "If only I had my gun on me right now"
He was also in an interview with a militia group bragging about "Never using non-lethal"
He also had various facebook posts where he talked about wanting to kill.
He also had a history of schoolyard violence against young girls.
These were disallowed from being admitted as evidence by the judge who claimed these were "irrelevant", even though they clearly paint a motive.
There's also the fact that you don't travel across state lines with an illegal weapon because you love somebody else's property that much. He had claimed he had been "Hired to protect a dealership" and that he was "Only there to provide medical assistance with the gun being purely for protection", at one point he'd even been asked to leave by police who only allowed him to stay because he lied about being a "Trained EMT"
Which resulted in the (often played out of context) clip of the police saying "We appreciate you guys, we really do!" as they gave him bottles of water. (Yet no charges for lying to law enforcement, self-misrepresentation, or "Stolen Valor", curious)
The fact that he wore gloves at all times while handling the weapon also shows he intended to use it for criminal purposes and took steps to hide his fingerprints.
The evidence of pre-mediation is overwhelming, had the Judge not been a MAGA-Plant and the Prosecution not been incompetent "DID THE VIDEO GAMES MAKE YOU DO IT KYLE?!!?!"
It's pretty obvious how this would have gone
lol. is this Stephen Kings' alt account? Clearly written after he got off the blow.
