Is that a bulletproof vest he’s wearing? And if so, why, if he didn’t know what he was going to that day?

I mean, of all things that is the least incriminating.
Gun nuts LOVE cosplaying and larping as "real" soldiers.
In some of the shittier parts of the US I have even seen idiots wearing vests and masked tape name tags so that they can pretend they are active duty while in line at a mcdonalds. Felt fairly safe grabbing a bite to eat since I saw the pile of guns in the back of their pickup truck but...
I mean, true, but it’s more evidence against the notion that he was only an uninformed innocent bystander who followed someone to a thing.
The problem is that, in the world we live in, he could have walked in with an m16 in his hands and ten mags duct taped to his body and still made the argument "I was on my way to the local Sheetz and got wrapped up in the excitement".
Damn your plausible explanations, it can get rowdy in line for a sub.

"I'm a Marine, not a soldier! GET IT RIGHT!!!" - the larping asshole, nerd raging; almost definitely.
Defend America! from America! Hoo-ray!

It appears to be a plate carrier sans plate.
Cheaper and just for show? What’s the point?
They love their tacti-cool cosplay.
These idiots are lazy so it's probably just because you're cutting out ten pounds of ceramic and steel plates to carry. Also plates are bulky and weird if you're not used to them so wearing a plate carrier without them is just easier and more comfortable.
Looks badass. Murica!
More proof it was an antifa hoax, Tomahawks are like 20 feet long and way too heavy for even a patriot to lift /s
So, being convicted of multiple felonies probably gets your military pension suspended, right?
Hes 36, so he didn't make it to the 20yr minimum for a military pension. 37/38 would be the minimum, depending on various things.
His treason buddy, Nichols, is 32, so no chance there either.
