    Right. A counter protestor would be holding a sign, not aiming a gun. This wasn’t “counter protesting” in any sense of the word.

      Article claimed he was flying flags from his truck. I would argue that “flying flags” is reasonably comparable to “holding a sign”. “Counter protester” seems an apt description.

      Article further claims he didn’t “aim a gun” until after his truck was attacked with him inside. That “gun” was quickly determined to be an air gun.
