Kyle is no hero, but I don't believe he came that night looking to shoot anyone, either; he was just a dumb kid that got separated from his group and was being chased by a group of thugs. It probably would have ended with him running away with his tail between his legs, except one of the retards chasing him decided it would be a good idea to pull out a pistol and fire it into the air, and that was when things escalated. If you want a detailed (and entertaining) write-up of what happened that led to 2 people dying, I posted a link to an article about that here.

He brought an assault rifle and neoprene gloves, he was clearly prepared to shoot someone, and did.

He brought a bag with first aid equipment, which is where the gloves came from. When treating an injury you wear those gloves to keep things sanitary.

He wasn't there with a gun by himself, either; he was there are part of a militia group, and all of them had guns. As this is America, lots of protestors and counter-protestors bring guns to protests. It doesn't mean they're looking to shoot someone just because they have them.
