Not much information at the moment. The gun toter and the man who tackled him both arrested.
Looks like an idiot with a gun. The way he is holding it I’m not sure but I might reasonably think he was threatening. Not really enough info yet to tell for sure but it doesn’t look good at the moment.

Good lord! The guy with the gun is an idiot. He was holding the rifle like he was about to open fire. I realize it may be legal to open carry a long gun but that was a really stupid way to exercise his rights.

The weird thing is everyone pretty much just standing there or even walking towards him. Some appear to be yelling or antagonizing him. Hard to watch on my phone. It just strikes me odd that you don’t see more people running.

I'm glad i dont live in the city. I don't know what was more pathetic. The looser with the gun, the brainless zombies with the cell phones, or the out of shape cop.

Idiocy is the main ingredient of life in this country the last few months.

It seems he planned to protect the protest and 'Off' racists and MAGA people.

"...brandished an assault rifle..."
Yet another mass news media fail on firearms.

True, but these guys are far less biased than a particular Midland/Odessa station. Their article would have been "Protesters take down man armed with deadly AR-47 assault weapon, who later admitted he planned to kill people at the event while refering to MAGA."
This station will at least tell you this guy was a leftist and admitted he planned to kill people on the right.

That would make it a minor miracle, it would seem.
