A heavily armed California man dressed like a National Guard soldier was arrested outside Los Angeles City Hall on Tuesday morning and has been booked on charges of impersonating a Guard member, media outlets report.

State and city officials called in the National Guard on May 30 to help maintain order during ongoing protests over the death of George Floyd, according to ABC 7.

He wanted to fight the rioters.

He’s nuts but was on the right side.

Mismatching uniform and gear? Plus gear stuck together from the last 30 years?

“A heavily armed California man dressed like a National Guard soldier...”

Doesn’t matter, he came to murder folks and he’ll be labeled as a ‘white supremacist’ no matter what the facts are.

Idiots like him are just as evil as ANTIFA.

********

Which is too bad for him. If he’d been caught in the act of rioting, heck atm, maybe even murder while rioting, he’d be out of jail and back at it by now.

[“No one I know in the military would do anything so stupid, he kitted himself out as if he was ready to go to Afghanistan and kick in doors,” said former reservist Jeremy Ma, who knows Wong through the airsoft community, according to FOX 11.

“I’m a former national guardsman, the National Guard deploy with their uniforms, body armor, riot helmets, and one weapon, usually a sidearm or a long arm, he showed up with a sidearm and a long arm, his equipment that carried his body armor was the wrong color, he essentially had a lot of extra equipment,”he said.

The Los Angeles Police Department said they don’t believe Wong intended to cause any harm and he never left formation, according to FOX 11.

Ma told the station that Wong had been posting on Facebook relaying he was ready to defend stores in the area from looters. After being placed in police custody, Wong allegedly told authorities his goal was to defend a downtown jewelry store.

“And he was not getting very much response from that and maybe he expressed a bit of frustration,” Ma claimed, according to FOX 11.]

At some point the rioters and joggers were impersonating human beings, where’s the lock up?

In don’t think he was trying to look like a NG soldier, he had just cobbled his gear together in hopes of joining in to defend stores and property from looters and had Uber drop him off at what he thought was the logical place, the police hq, and the NG happened to be there assembling at the same time.

Sounds more like an overenthusiastic concerned citizen. He didn’t try to get insignia and patches or anything to blend in.

If he wanted to pull off a Kent State trick he would have got the same gun and ammo and set up at the protester site and wait for the guard to arrive.

My post of a couple of days ago covered this, I think.
Also nodded to Norman Mailer who described this in the Armies of the Night and Miami and the Siege of Chicago.

The media will go nuts when they report a Trump military man or guardsman fired wildly on innocent rioters just stealing $50,000 necklaces out of a jewelry store before burning it down. The poor things./s

Oh, did they arrest someone? Was he rioting? Or not social distancing?

Heavily armed.
One rifle, one handgun.

(And uniform and gear)

LA headlines said “...Weapons Cache...”

Again one rifle,one handgun (all I have been able to determine).

So, if heavily “ARMED” is a uniform, helmet, gear belt, Plus

How about The Right To Bear Arms???

At least he was packing a little more than a broad sword or compound bow w/arrow.

I suspect this person is a plant whose role was to shoot a few looters or Antifa members, who would have become martyrs. It would be blamed on the military.
