Is it a Federal matter now that he has crossed a state line?

[Vermont Lt]

Yeah...that’s a little weird.

I respect the police...but that kind of wannabe stuff will get you in trouble if you start acting like a cop.

[Shethink13]

Arrested in Illinois. Doesn’t he have to be extradited back to Wisconsin?

Why did he go to Illinois? What was a 17 year old with a rifle from Illinois doing in Kenosha, Wisconsin during violent rioting and protests?

Careful, people. Be very careful. Pretty soon we'll be hearing this kid admitting that he hates blacks and that's why he was there, just like that Texas kid that shot up the Wal-Mart plead guilty claiming an anti-immigrant bias.

This might be another false-flag. These young "on the spectrum" teenagers are the useful tools of the Soros Marxists.

I suggest patience and no rush to judgment.

[Drew68]

Did you ever read our constitution?

That ol' rag? It was written by white male slave-owners!

Nobody follows it today. This kid will be ruined (and made a lesson to others who dare to stand up to the BLM/Antifa mob).

[LeoWindhorse]

Go Fund Him

[PROCON]

That pistol in this guy’s hand proves self-defense.

[wardaddy]

Political charge

All charges dropped eventually

[Blood of Tyrants]

I saw people chasing him and I saw him shooting in self defense after he fell.

[caww]

There is an earlier video of this kid offering assistance to people as a medic.

[Vermont Lt]

Nope. The DOJ is the referee. The Feds have no other role in this stuff. THAT is exactly what these morons want.

[lodi90]

POTUS can’t pardon a state charge. And the next Democrat will charge him with a federal crime, too.

[T.B. Yoits]

Overcharge him. Jury acquits him.

Push back on the DA to bring Felony Murder charges against the survivors who attacked him. They were committing a felony assault when their fellow rioters were killed.

DA fails to do bring Felony Murder? Drag them into the wrongful death suit as an accessory after the fact.

[greenishness]

Need to roll with a gofundme page pronto. He will get millions to be used for his defense.

[DoughtyOne]

I was only going to try and bash his head in with my skateboard. This was so unfair. /s

[strider44]

Why was a 17 year old kid walking around with an AR? I can see staying in one spot defending your house or business with that AR. No problem. Why be on the move surrounded by these idiots? Yes, if he was forced to move that’s a different story. Where are his parents?

All that said I don’t think he should be prosecuted. Just wondering why he was on the move in that environment. Nothing good was going to come of it. Now he’s screwed.

[DoughtyOne]

Look at all the backs leaving at speed in that lower photo.

LOL

Tough guys huh...

[metmom]

He’s a juvenile.

Why are they publishing so much information about him?

Whatever happened to sealing the record of a minor?

Were the two he killed antifa?

All this does is encourage people defending themselves to snipe and guerilla warfare. It’s not worth the consequences to do otherwise.

[DCBryan1]

I’d like to think the last thing going through skate board thugs mind was “Bernie! Bernie save me!”

[SJackson]

It appeared to be self defense to me but I've only seed videos in which he was being chased, knocked to the ground, and confronted by the individual he shot in the arm who appears to have had a handgun. I see two problems for him. First, he was in illegal possession of a rifle if he's under 18. There are no open hunting seasons in the city Kenosha. And we don't know what happened before he was chased. If he contributed to an argument which led to the chase, that will be a problem. Presuming the prosecutor is a liberal, he'll probably argue that, though WI is an open carry state, possession (even legally) was contributed to whatever disagreement led to the chase. Then there's disturbing the peace. Urban cities in WI have used that to prosecute legal open carry.

That said, and perhaps some of FR's attorneys could weigh in as I'm not, it seems to me the individuals chasing him, all of them, are complicit in the killings. I'm sorry it happened, this is going to mess up this kid's life.
