The chuds are leaving. A group of counter-protesters decide to enter the garage and capture plates as the cars leave. Many have plates obscured They're yelling at the cars. People in the cars are armed. Everyone's tense and scared. Close quarters. This is not a good plan

(I want to make it clear that it's not OK to threaten someone for filming no matter what they are wearing. Definitely did not mean to imply otherwise. I just wanted to make it real clear that in no way did I appear threatening)

Wow I am getting a lot of pushback on my trigger discipline comment You're all correct: his finger is not literally resting on the trigger. His discipline could be much worse It could also, in my personal opinion, be better. Like, not resting directly over the guard

It is my personal belief that if you're gonna carry a goddamn AR-15 in a tense urban environment full of civilians you should make it very clear to everyone that your finger is away from the trigger It should rest either above the guard or, optimally, not be extended at all

Yes exactly!! If you're moving though a battlefield this makes sense but this is downtown Portland on a goddamn Sunday and shooting your AR15 at unarmed people should not even be on the goddamn table
