Apparently, there are some on here that feel that one should not defend themselves from being beaten and possibly even murdered in the street. I certainly hope that no one has a family member that is a victim that has to run for his life because he attempts to do his civic duty, patriotic duty of helping his fellow man. Find this young man guilty and it will discourage brave young people from running into a fire to save a child or even a pet, assist an accident victim or even enlist in the military. Apparently, some folks believe that towns should be burnt down to demonstrate their opposition to a view. When your female family member is being assaulted by some thug, I hope that witnesses do not turn a blind eye away from the incident instead of defending them. Hopefully, if someone attempts to carjack you, a good neighbor will be there to assist and not go about his merry way, thinking it is not his business.
As for any association with a white supremacist group, it wouldn't matter to me if the rescuer is a member of the KKK or the Black Panthers. One shouldn't be picky about those that attempt to assist them when their homes are burning.
I have observed the trial on this young man and think that he should be acquitted. I have little doubt that they will still find him guilty of illegally in possession of a firearm. Funny, but other states(30) only have such age restrictions on handguns. I also feel that if they are trying him as an adult that charge should be dropped.
Case closed!
