Remember riots and protests are different things, and there's no evidence he was against the latter.

And what you happen to see is a killer whose image you're softening by making him out to be a dumb kid when he's a killer that targetted protesters. To try to make out this wasn't racially motivated is particularly foolish, the whole situation is racially motivated, protesters are out there protesting because of racially motivated violence by the police. People oppose the protesters because they don't like being reminded that racism exists or they don't want to consider black people their equals. The whole situation is racially charged so contorting your mind into nonsensical justifications as to why this man chose to cross state lines with an illegally owned gun to oppose a protest protesting police brutality against black people is just particularly silly. You can't fight common sense so don't try.
Also, you've already shown your hand by being quick to blame protesters for being murdered and not the white supremacist murderer himself.
