I am a firm believer that if he had opened fire, most of the crowd, probably even those with guns, would have turned and run. Take the lead person out of the fight and most of the others will also leave.
Historically most criminals are not committed to an attack once bullets headed their way and run once the shooting starts... but these BLM and ANTIFA rioters seem to be of a special sort. The self defense shootings in Kenosha and Austin didn't go that way.

I believe the older gentlemen in Louisville was 100% willing to fight and die. Even underarmed, his commitment and fighting spirit won the day. This is a lesson to winning a fight. First and foremost, once you are in the fight you need to commit to winning. Fights are not a halfway effort. History shows that regardless of numbers or armament, the most committed will often win.

Re: Patron in Restaurant pulls gun on armed BLM marchers

These are some other noteworthy parts of the story:
A man was charged with possession of a handgun by a convicted felon and first-degree wanton endangerment of an officer. He was arrested after an officer allegedly spotted open alcohol containers and a loaded handgun in the front seat of his vehicle....

The probe is happening as Louisville has seen a surge of violent crime. According to police statistics, murders, rapes and robberies were up more than 81% above the five-year averages in January and February. This followed a 2020 where police retirements and resignations were at a five-year high after Taylor's death. Approximately 15% of the police force left during that time.
BLM = PRO CRIME... In this particular instance you've got a convicted felon openly carrying a loaded handgun in the front seat of his vehicle. By criminals, for criminals.
