Like 17 year olds, from out of town.
Lol seriously. Get yourself a grip.
And it’s probably a good idea not to wish/suggest death on other ats members. Because you disagree with them.
You can be banned for that.
No trial, just gone.

But that little lad is not a soldier, just a silly idiot, in the wrong place, at the wrong time, yet his by his own volition.
I understand that you need to stop the violence and looting, yet sending babies in with ArmaLites in tow, wont get the job done, and all it will serve to achieve to add more flames to the fire.

They don't send, Delta teams, Airborne, or any other special force unaccompanied into the at sort of situation.
Trained combat in an urban environment requires ether teams or the buddy system, period.

Well there is some background on the people shot.
Headshot-Josheph Rosenbaum: Served time for sexual contact with a minor.
Skateboard-Anthony Hueber: Multiple violent offenses including domestic abuse, ADW, False Imprisonment, Battery, and "strangulation suffocation".
Lefty- Gaige Grosskreutz: Convicted Burgler
Saw a meme that said "From this day forth shooting a pedo, a wife beater, and a burglar in one night should be known as a Kenosha Hat Trick".
None of this matters, none of it.
You cannot defend his actions legally or ethically, just because he made what some consider good shots.
In the future this kid will be an ex felon too.
Maybe someone will shoot him?

The kid would have deserved it. Why do you neglect the fact that he had literally just shot someone in the effin' head? You all are so convinced that these are radically violent antifa leftists but NOT A SINGLE ONE had the ability to take the little ass#### out?
I regret it with the skateboard guy. Little #### has no business being alive.
Yet, this kid intentionally crossed the border with an illegal firearm, went out of his way to intentionally murder someone, went home quietly and went to sleep. And now half the country is treating a young, snot-nosed murderer as a damn hero and 'patriot'
The double standard is sickening. It worries me how much of the population values property over human lives. If you can sit back in comfortable ignorance when innocent lives are taken, but jump to immediate attention when insured buildings and such great small businesses as Target & Autozone are burned down... well, I'm afraid it's time you re-evaluated your priorities. Is this really where you want to be when Jesus comes back? Celebrating lives lost while condemning property damage?
A lot of people feel some type of way about Kyle bringing an AR-15 with him to a protest/riot and I get it, why bring a rifle to a peaceful protest? Well sometimes protest turn into riots and an AR-15 is one of the most effective self-defense tools in the world. That’s why it’s the most popular rifle in the country.
I know seeing someone carrying an AR makes some people uncomfortable, but I also can’t blame someone for wanting the best means of protection when they’re going into what could turn out to be a dangerous and volatile situation. Also, let’s be clear, there were a lot of protestors and rioters with guns at this protest/riot.
However, there is the issue of legality. Kyle is 17 and In Wisconsin, any person under 18 years of age who possesses or goes armed with a dangerous weapon is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. So, on the surface, Kyle was carrying his rifle illegally, but Wisconsin law has an exception that says that law only applies if the person has a short-barreled rifle or shotgun or the person does not have a certificate of accomplishment to obtain hunting approval. Kyle may or may not have this, I don’t know and this exception may only apply in cases of hunting, it’s not very clear, but my gut tells me, Wisconsin wasn’t trying to carve out an exception that let minors open carry during a protest/riot and the exception was more about hunting.
Then there are people saying Kyle shouldn’t have been there because there was an 8pm curfew and they’d be right, but that also means the protestors and rioters shouldn’t have been there either.
I’m not really a fan of any 17-year-old being at a protest/riot. I know 40-year- olds who don’t have the mental maturity to deal with the dynamic of a riot much less an impressionable 17-year-old, but if we send 18-year-olds to fight people in other countries, so then can I really say anything to a 17-year-old who wants to help protect business and people in his country.
There are a lot of people making a big deal about the fact that Kyle drove in from Antioch Illinois.
The drive from Antioch to Kenosha is 30 min. That’s shorter than a lot of people’s daily commute. Anthony Huber the kid with the skateboard who was shot and killed, lived in Silver Lake, that’s a 30 min drive to Kenosha. Gaige Grosskreutz, lived in West Allis and that’s a 49 min drive to Kenosha. So, it’s safe to say they all should have probably stayed home that day, but none of them did so here we are.
In Wisconsin, Deadly force can only be used if a person reasonably believes that such force is required to avoid death or great bodily harm. There is no duty to retreat unless you were the initial aggressor. If you are the initial aggressor, you can only use deadly force if you reasonably believe all means to escape great bodily injury or death has been exhausted.
I describe the events with video in great detail from a lawyer’s point of view in this video.
Yes, the people attacking Kyle think he just murdered someone, but they are attacking him. They are not defending themselves from him to prevent death or great bodily injury, so under the letter of the law, they are the aggressor at that moment. Because they have a disparity of force (ie way more people than him) and weapons or objects being used as weapons, Kyle is legally justified to use deadly force to stop them.
So as a lawyer, unless some new info comes out that shows Kyle was the initial aggressor and he had a way to retreat, legally I don’t think he will be charged with murder.
Yes, Kyle probably broke the law in that he was a minor open carrying a firearm. However, Kyle breaking that law does not mean he forfeits his right to self-defense if it is justified.
This is similar to a situation in which I’m a felon and I have a gun that I use to protect myself during a home invasion.
I’m still going to jail, but not for murder. It’ll be for me having a gun as a felon because my use of deadly force with that gun even though it was illegal for me to have, was justified.
In this case from the looks of the information up to this point, legally, he was justified.
Because of this, I think Kyle is going to plead to the lesser charge of open carrying a firearm as a minor, but I don’t see him getting convicted of murder.

I feel sorry for the residents of that town. I have some 9mm if they need donations. "police brutality" nobody feels sorry for those people. You keep breaking the law you're going to get taken down. It's no different than sticking a tree branch in your own bike wheel.
