They're armed because they're looking to provoke a situation where they can commit murder and call it self defense.
It's called the Shittenhouse Defense
In a normal legal system that would be provocation of self-defense state, which would cause the act of defending to be limited to actual defense but would require extensive acts of mitigating the threat in non-violent ways.
Yes, but these are nazis, so it's not like the sympathetic legal system is going to do anything. Also, these are nazis, so they're not very bright.
That is not true of everyone walking around carrying, but it is definitely true of these fuckwits.
They're marching in the hopes that someone will attack them in a fashion they cannot reasonably flee from? Or does Ohio have stand your ground and we could knock the part about fleeing off?
Ohio doesn't require fleeing. All they have to say is that they thought someone was in danger to use lethal force. They could still be charged and it'd be up to ba jury. I don't think they'd do very well with a jury though. But somebody is still dead.
They are marching in the hopes that someone will do anything even slightly untoward that they can interpret as a threat and open fire. They're confident that they will get a piece of shit judge like Rittenhouse got.
Do you suppose that they are legal scholars?
