you know, now that I'm thinking about it, the craziest part of all of this is....
the reason he thought he was good was because he knew that out of all those ppl out there, they were all unarmed, and he was the only one with a weapon.
that's the only reason he rushed at them the way he did. He peeped with his own eyes and probably saw it on TV that all the protestors have been unarmed, and so he thought he wa gonna run at them and they were gonna run away.
He didn't expect them to come at him, weapons or not
