[“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?
