Since Kyle was not acting under color of authority, nor a place of public accommodation, he’ll not likely be charged under the civil rights code. I also don’t believe he has any jurisdictional “hooks” that will give the feds authority to prosecute under a federal homicide statute. Having said that, since the rule of law has become a frail bulwark against the totalitarians, I wouldn’t stake my life on it. They may find a way.
They may. I just think it’s more likely than not they’ll try to avoid another trial debacle. He’s already “guilty” to the left, and a symbol of inherent systemic racism in the courts. Gotta vote Dem if you want equity, don’t you know.

In a just world, you would be right. But the obsession of politicos and the media with “crossing state lines” suggests we don’t. It is a talking point that has been hammered over and over for months now. Why? Crossing state lines is the trigger for many federal criminal statutes. Garland has shown himself as an unprincipled puppet of the far left. I suspect he will find one.
