What was the reason he made the trip from Illinois to Wisconsin again? Refresh my memory.

Show me where that negates his ability to defend himself from rioters who also werenât supposed to be there.
939.48â Self-defense and defense of others.
(2)âProvocation affects the privilege of self-defense as follows:
(a) A person who engages in unlawful conduct of a type likely to provoke others to attack him or her and thereby does provoke an attack is not entitled to claim the privilege of self-defense against such attack, except when the attack which ensues is of a type causing the person engaging in the unlawful conduct to reasonably believe that he or she is in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm. In such a case, the person engaging in the unlawful conduct is privileged to act in self-defense, but the person is not privileged to resort to the use of force intended or likely to cause death to the person's assailant unless the person reasonably believes he or she has exhausted every other reasonable means to escape from or otherwise avoid death or great bodily harm at the hands of his or her assailant.
(b) The privilege lost by provocation may be regained if the actor in good faith withdraws from the fight and gives adequate notice thereof to his or her assailant.
(c) A person who provokes an attack, whether by lawful or unlawful conduct, with intent to use such an attack as an excuse to cause death or great bodily harm to his or her assailant is not entitled to claim the privilege of self-defense.

People WILL NEVER tolerate rioting. I donât care if itâs blacks or whites, the only good rioter is a stinking dead rioter. Face down. Full of holes. I only wish heâd have gotten every last one.

Let me put the shoe on the other foot:
Soooo...do you think that all the rioting insurrectionists, who stormed the Capitol building on January 6th, should have been killed?
How about the Boston Tea Party protest, back on December 16, 1773?

That was more like a field trip than a riot, though...

Our opinions today have no bearing -- nor impact -- on actions done & dead 350 years in the past. Such is linear time, and reaching across centuries is a hallmark of having no dice in an argument.

Did no white police officers kill any black men this year?
I don't recall seeing any riots on TV.
Do we have Kyle Rittenhouse to thank for that?
