Never said it was right, wondered about the entire set up though.

“...But there is so much wrong with this kid’s thought process—they will crucify him. And his parents are going to be civilly liable. I hope they are putting the house in the In Laws name today.”
*****************************************
They’ll SUCCESSFULLY crucify him and hold his parents liable only if people like you were in charge. If they setup a GoFundMe campaign for the RIGHTEOUS kid, I and many thousands of others will contribute.

So he was with the militia earlier. Been trying to verify that. So how did he wind up being chased to the car lot all alone? He got lost somewhere.

No, his worries are worries that all of us who believe in our Constitutional Republic Should be worrying about namely: Citizens caving to a tyrannical government, (state and federal) and it’s Unconstitutional laws!

1. He’s from Illinois. What was he doing in Kenosha, Wisconsin? 2. Can be legally carry an AR-15 in Wisconsin if he lives in Illinois? 3. Can be even OWN an AR-15 if he’s only 17?

1-Who knows 2-No, regardless of where he lives. Under 18 only hunting, and there's no open season in Kenosha. 3-Since he can't purchase on, probably not. Probably his parents. Nice for the civil suit

were they from another state or area, and did they bring their weapons in from out of state too?

That is an excellent question and I'm pretty sure we know the answer.

I doubt very many of those people are from town. I don’t believe its THAT big of a city.

Having read 251 posts, here’s my take. Lots of questions really.

Reason for the severe charge is simple. Extradition is not a small thing, especially when it comes to a minor. State #1 is not simply going to hand over one of their citizens to state #2 on a small charge, especially being under 18.

My personal opinion is that he was defending himself.

Why a 17 year old crossed state lines to join some adults guarding a gas station is unknown.

Did he cross state lines with the gun or did he borrow someone else’s? unknown.

Was he a member of the militia(assumed) that were chatting it up with and being thanked by the cops?

I hope he doesn’t get charged with murder. Manslaughter I can see happening but I don’t even agree that he deserves that. Some sort of weapons charges definitely unless he was actually legal in both states or at least WI, which I don’t know is possible if he was an IL resident. Maybe mom lived in IL and dad lived in WI?

Sucks that out of all those guys he was with, none of them were responsible enough to watch over him real well. One of them should have said, you stay here, I’ll take care of the arson commie guy.

They could plead temporary insanity. Kidnever had history of violence. Entered a highly charged enironvent and shot a guy in the heat of watching him destroy property he was to guard.

But it was his first kill and a 17 no less.....and he was ‘frantically’ pacing when he made the phone call...then suddenly ran across the lot like lightening. His adrenaline levels by then were already roaring.....then he’gets a pack of wolfs on his heels throwing cocktails. Would he even recall going down when he tripped and the shootings done thereafter????? There’s no doubt he was beyond panic mode...fight and flight mode operating in one place of the mind and body and in extreme danger as the other guy had a gun.

When does the bus leave for Kenosha?

Make sure it has a bathroom and a lift for all you guys with walkers. You are all big tough militia people. When are you going to another state and start shooting other people?

Big talk. Armchair warriors.

And you talk like you would let your 17 year old kid, illegally carry a firearm across state lines in the middle of the night.

Good parenting skills!

Communists aren’t people so I’m not really sure why he was arrested.

GoFundMe would set up an account if this kid killed a cop. Not so much, Antifa. It’ll have to be another venue. Soon as announced, I’m in for $$..

The guy shot in the arm clearly had a gun and was standing over him- self defense- check. The guy with the skateboard was beating the 17 year old prior to the shooting- self defense - check. The first victim was seen chasing after the kid, and throwing things at him. The actual shooting was not captured clearly, but based on the other circumstances, I’d say self-defense is a pretty good call. The only problem is that it will be years before the case finally comes to trial, and the defense in this case will be expensive.

That’s what WI calls first degree murder.

The real lesson here is to snipe them from at least 400 meters and no "close in " contact. Use this:

And not this:

That all plays into my thoughts on the charge of Murder One.

Good luck with that.

With a rifle in his hands, anyone chasing him or jumping
on top of him had plenty of warning. And I don’t think
he sent and insulted people just so he could shoot them.

To me kicking a person in the head with your boot, is
a lot closer to a Murder One charge IMO.
