I wonder what he armed himself for protection from...

The mental gymnastics required to reconcile the notion that he wasn't putting himself in an unnecessarily dangerous situation, but that he still needed a fucking gun to protect himself is just astounding.

Anything. It's a precaution.

the notion that he wasn't putting himself in an unnecessarily dangerous situation

Nobody said that. He knew he was taking a risk and potentially putting himself in harm's way, but he made the decision to take that risk, to do what he felt was the right thing to do (i.e. go to Kenosha try to prevent some of the damage, and also use what limited medical training he had to help anyone who needed it).

That's courageous, not something to criticize somebody for. It's incredible to me that you're too dense to recognize the blatant victim blaming.
