The officials who refuse to let police do their jobs are at fault for this happening........

The job of the police is to do what their political masters tell them. If they're told to let the Marxist terrorists do whatever they want, but arrest those who try to defend themselves, then that's their job and they're doing it.

In this instance the fire fighters won’t show unless the area is secured.

I question if he really was a medic....some rioters wear these and press signs when they aren’t.

Jake Blake received a monstrous amount of money from donations.

Yes if this gets to court it should all come out in court. Hopefully prosecuting attorneys will realize they have a dud.

I hope all patriotic citizens near Kenosha, I guess I should say able bodied men, are in place to defend selves, homes and businesses right now. Now is not the time to stay home.

Nah, he’s thinking “if I move I might get shot”.

Being chased is life threatening in my opinion and I’d use deadly force without apology in that situation.

They are not chasing me to give me a hug.

Vermont, kids always fight our battles.

In war isn’t it always the 17 to 25 year olds out there?

You should not say the women and older men here are hypocrites for not street fighting. Personally I’d be a liability. I’ll stay at the stop of my stairs or shoot out the windows to defend my home and us. But I’d not be out lined up in front of a business because I don’t have the strength or speed to fight the twenty something antifa dolts. That’s not my fault. It doesn’t make anyone a hypocrite if they aren’t fit twenty years old men who live out of state.

"...I question if he really was a medic..."


My bet is many rioters/looters wear fraudulent MEDIC and PRESS garments to essentially be a camouflage of sorts.

I also suspect they do it to sneakily buy themselves even a brief moment of hesitation when fighting police, National Guard, or other lawful patriots.

What if they were chasing you because they felt you had threatened them by brandishing a weapon? What if they thought you were a dangerous gunman who needed to be subdued? IOW, if he provoked their action, what does that do to his self defense claim? I’m not saying he didn’t legitimately act in self defense, just trying to anticipate the counterarguments.

In re to your what if question, he was running away. So they don’t apply imo.

If a terrible man breaks into my home and does all sorts of terrible things and then runs away I should not shoot him as he runs.

So even if this boy did something bad they still should not have been chasing him down. It is not their job to “detain” him and I doubt they was their intent anyway.

You can always spot a Leftist by the fact they love telling other people what to do.

Oh, of course he was a real medic. That’s why he was carrying a Glock in his right hand when he rushed in on the shooter. He was trying to get around to the kids’ left side and behind him with the pistol. Now, this is after the kid just dropped the skate board attacker. The Kid most likely anticipated the outcome of allowing ‘medic’ behind him and shot him in his pistol arm.
