A few parting thoughts/observations.
Someone who posted in this thread located me through PM with a link to this thread and asked that I respond.
I thought I could answer a couple of questions having spoken to the guy and knowing of him before the incident, right after it happened, and in the aftermath of the news media. I also know through open-records requests of the Milwaukee Police Department how the news media even found out about it. I consider myself a pretty analytical guy, and I'm confident in the circumstances surrounding this situation, but hey... No one can ever be 100% sure of anything. I will say that I've learned my lesson as far as allocating my time-resources to engaging in internet-debate, especially with those who tend to prescribe to conspiracy theories. There is nothing to gain by trying to persuade you. I guess you can just believe what makes you feel better.
Wisconsin Carry believes law-abiding people have the right to carry in the manner of their choosing. I prefer to open-carry whenever possible. If and when Wisconsin passes a conceal carry law (or repeals the conceal carry ban) I will continue to open-carry as much as possible because that is my preference. It will just be nice not to have to be paranoid about throwing a jacket on in the winter from the truck to the store and risking a conceal carry violation, but I will OC whenever possible. I digress.
Carry On

No offense, just an observation but judging from your comments in this thread, if he did come on here and tell his story, I have a feeling you would either just accuse him of lying, question his identity,or refuse to believe the answers he gave you. I mean I've talked to him at length and you don't believe me, why would you believe him? If you think the whole thing was staged you're going to change your mind just because he comes in and says it wasn't? yeah right... Carry On...
