The incident came when the damage due to rioting was really ramping up, and people were taking up arms to protect property, both their own and others. They had to put a stop to the "rooftop Koreans" phenomenon which had been so effective.
There were two important reasons. First, They needed to make an example of a 2nd Amendment type. He gets his ass killed and then They can play it many ways: it was his own fault, he incited, assailants were justified, looking for trouble, etc. Suddenly no one wants to follow that example. Second, They had to have a "safe space" for the rioters They Themselves incited. Cities won't burn themselves down, and you can't get rioters if a bunch of them get shot.
As you can see, it worked out just dandy for Them even though Kyle didn't actually get murdered. Was there even a single instance of armed self-defense by a citizen through all the rioting? I'm not sure the cops ever even pulled a gun on anyone.
maybe it was divine intervention Kyle survived. What he was able to do was pretty miraculous. Without any training he did things people spend a lot of time preparing for.
Even for non-conspiritorial types, this was the most-overlooked aspect of the incident. The MSM was silent, of course. Many talk about the "pussification" of America and there's some merit to it, but this was a shining counter-example.
I doubt that it even crossed Kyle's mind that he would actually fire his weapon in defense that evening. In what world does anyone start trouble with someone holding a rifle? If you read up on him at all, he's a goody two-shoes, trying to be a solid citizen. He is 100% not the type to go look for a chance to do violence.
He also allowed himself to be separated from his friends, which tells us he had no awareness of any present danger to his safety. But then suddenly he's a scared teenager, all alone and literally fleeing for his life. He gets two KIA and one WIA, all while trying his best to break contact.
So what happens in America when it's organized groups of armed men, many of them ex-military, outraged and completely fed up at what they've witnessed over the last few years and decades? Sometimes conspiracy theorists claim, "Oh, they're trying to provoke citizens into violence!" Maybe, but that seems absolutely insane. If that ever happens, and I'm not saying it can't, I think any armed civil unrest would be very brutal and very short.

Kyle never should have agreed to let the state destroy that gun.
"maybe"
