Looks to me Kyle was a naive kid that imagined himself as some kind of community service / UN peacekeeper, who took a rifle with him as visible deterrent so he could tidy up his local city.
Looks like he discovered that MAD is just escalation that triggers flashpoints.
Sadly this is the start, not the end, of such instances and there will sadly be losses from both people trying to protect their community and from those who are rightfully angry at establishment brutality.
The common folk are now divided and fighting amongst themselves and not directing their ire towards their greatest enemies.
