Its a really fucked up situation but one thing is sure: If I have a gun and someone is running at me (while somebody in the background shot a pistol for no reason in the air) I am not gonna assume that the running guy just wanna talk about Jesus and ask me calmly to surrender my arms.

Same thing with the second part with the skateboarding and stuff: would you calmly get beaten and hope that they only want to disarm you and not take away your life/take your gun and start shooting?

TLDR: dont play cops

Rittenhouse. Or what would you call that you go and protect other peoples property with guns?

Yea that is the word I was looking for. As a European it always weirds me out how can people be so calm if they see others open carrying guns.

Especially when somebody starts shooting I would Usain Bolt the fuck out of there, not stay around/start making a video/try to unarm someone. :D
