The problem here is we don't know the guys intention and it seems he wasn't breaking any laws. So if it's generally considered not okay to walk into Walmart with a rifle, pistol & body armor, why is it legal to do so?

I agree with the first parr of that, but there are lots of things that aren't good, but still legal. Some things people say aren't nice, but should they be illegal? Don't think so. Cutting in line is bad too, but not everything that makes one an asshole should require a new law.

Well this bad thing got a guy held at gun point till the police got there and then arrested him. Not quite the same thing as cutting in line. If it's bad enough to warrant being arrested and investigated to determine his intentions, shouldn't it be illegal?

It's actually the other way around. If it's illegal, then it should be investigated to determine his intentions. But in the absence of actions, intentions aren't supposed to get your freedoms taken away. Maybe we should find out what he actually did before he's arrested.

That's my point actually. If it isn't illegal, he shouldn't have been arrested but he was and the majority of people seem to think it was the right move. So that being the case, why is it legal to do something that results in your arrest that people agree with.

If someone gets wrongfully arrested, typically you'll see people yelling abs screaming that the police fucked up but here they are applauding them for stopping a shooting when the guy hadn't done anything. Society's reaction indicates it shouldn't be legal.
