Isn't it obvious? They are 'cool' as long as you agree WHOLEHEARTEDLY with their twisted logic, but dare to have an ORIGINAL thought? Oh, you must be shouted down and name called! Like the playgrounds in elementary!

Looks to me like they were having an open carry demonstration and he went out there to film them, call them names and make them look bad. And then they turned the tables and started following him around filming him. And of course he didn't like it when they started doing the same thing to him, even though they never resorted to name calling like he did.

The demonstrators are idiots. The other guy is a bigger idiot.
I am thinking this whole thing was staged. But I could be wrong. But something just feels off about it.
I thought about that, but it failed my "Common sense" test, in that there is nothing to gain. Why do you think it might have been staged?
The way the Marine was acting. If confronted like that I know being in the military as frustrating as it is I would not have acted like that Marine. I don't Walter would have either. I would have just packed up and left not confronted them or said anything to give them facetime.

Agreed. Someone that was actually prior service, would not get confrontational with a bunch of people that are armed.
Also, I find it hard to believe Anybody would not feel threatened by a person armed with an assault rifle, in public, for no reason, including a demonstration.

I didn't notice, but were there CLIPS in those rifles? I only ask because I remember after 9/11 when the Nation Guardsmen were stationed at the airports, the ones over here in CA, did have AR-15s for sure, looking all military and ready to blast folks....except...all the rifles I saw HAD NO MAGAZINES in them! They didn't even have BAYONETS! Saw no side arms either, Did I feel 'protected', of course, that is, from a never been in the military, fired a weapon, watched a Hamburger Hill or Platoon or saving Private Ryan, but aside from that, I felt well protected indeed. Of course, having been to Heathrow during the time of 'the Troubles', I know what a fully armed and ready to fire SOLDIER ON GUARD looks like, and those weren't them! :/ O.o
