You don't do it.

Because that's the way peaceful protests win.

And everybody who knows anything about protesting knows this.

The left, they've been preaching Martin Luther King forever.

They know this.

This is not the tactic of Martin Luther King.

This is the tactic that escalates, not de-escalates things.

So, where do I stand on the gun thing?

I don't know what Alex... I don't know anything about him, so I don't know what his intention was.

I can look at the video and say his intention was to protest, was to be obnoxious, was to be one of those people that were right up there, but not necessarily up in the face of the cops until he sees cops starting to push people around, and then he decides, I'm going to get between them and whoever it was they were pushing.

He doesn't like that, so he gets involved.

The minute he gets involved...

The roles change.

He is now somebody that cops in this situation could and should look at as a danger to themselves.

So he made that choice.

I don't know if that was a choice that he made when he got up in the morning.

I don't know what his intentions were.

But once he made that choice, he's going to end up on the ground.

because it's such a chaotic situation, I have to side with both him for carrying a gun and being there and seemingly, from only footage that I've seen, seemingly not being a real violent guy, but being a dirtbag, but you have a right to be a dirtbag, being a dirtbag, but not a violent guy, I side with him.

But I also side with the cop that shot him
