False conclusions? Give me a fucking break. The dude traveled to another state with a gun to play cop. THAT IS THE ISSUE. Firemen and medics do not carry around loaded AR-15 rifles. If he had stayed home he would not have killed people. Period. The fact that you're ignoring his vigilantism says a lot about YOUR biases and where you're coming from.

And don't give me any of that "buildings are insured" crap. Most of the buildings were not insured, and most were POC owned, and most of BLM wasn't the ones doing the burning either. There were five factions on the ground that night, and the militia elements were working with the BLM elements against the cops and against Antifa, according to accounts on the ground. Kyle didn't shoot anyone in BLM, he shot people who were either Antifa arsonists or unaligned agitators who were in the process of attempting to kill him for stopping them from wiping out a city block with a dumpster bomb at a gas station.
The issue is that he and dozens of others were forced to because there were no cops and no fire protection.
On the first day of protests dozens of buildings in Kenosha burned uncontested.
On the second day of protests dozens more buildings burned while the arsonists hospitalized citizens attempting to stop them by beating them to near death with bats.
On the third day of protests citizens showed up with guns.
This will happen any time anarchist arsonists burn buildings for three days consecutively, and they leave the citizens with no other option. Try it again, it will happen again, and someone might get shot again. The easiest way to avoid this is don't burn 52 buildings to the ground while beating to near death the citizens who prevent you from stopping you. It's very easy. Don't do that thing.
Kyle lived "across state lines" about half the time, but he also worked and had over half his family in Kenosha. He effectively lived in Kenosha at least half the time.
The night before, he slept over at a friend's house in Kenosha. The day of he was cleaning graffiti off walls and offering medical aid to anyone who needed it.
The rifle he used that night never crossed state lines. His one mistake was putting himself in a position where he could be cornered, separated from the rest of his group. There is absolutely no basis for asserting "vigilantism." He did literally everything he could to disengage from the fight until he had no choice left but to use deadly force.

You're being sold an overtly false narrative.

HE did not cross state lines with a gun but its cute that the left believes in borders now
