Yep, as if they are going to go into the hood and try to confiscate the guns.

videos show the gunman was being chased AND a Molotov cocktail was thrown but barely missed him as he fled, and THEN he turned and shot his attackers as they continued to pursue and caught up with him ... the attackers that were shot were white, btw ...

(naturally, none of the anarchists (mostly white btw) were arrested or charged with anything)

Is it legal for a 17 year old to be open carrying a rifle? I don’t know Illinois laws but his age seems like it would play a factor.

Skateboard dude tried to pull his AR away and it went off as Kyle had strap around his back holding the weapon in place.

Suicide.

Everyone this kid shot was white, dude.

In fact, I'm speculating that the governor of Wisconsin only accepted Federal help in quelling the riots because he's a racist Democrat and can't stand the optics of white people shooting each other.

When Trump glorifies one, we inevitably get the other.

If you don’t see how uplifting the McCloskeys emboldens people like Kyle Rittenhouse then you’re not paying attention.

White man seventeen with an AR. From ILLannoy. Guess the local kkk or nazi skin heads gave him the gun. And probably while LEO was giving him some water they were telling him who to target, right.

I read from a more local source he was arrested on suspicion of murder and had not been charged.

Note: “...following several days of unrest across the city...” Unrest? Uh okay. Like a 3 foot snow event is a light dusting? I really don’t like ‘urinalists’.

Looking at the pics and video, it looks like self defense to me. One attacker tried to beat him with a skateboard!

That makes more sense. Too early for a complete investigation for a major charge like murder.

And Detroit was a church cakewalk compared to LA in ‘92. Not that it matters, I’m just sayin...

based on what i see in the article, at least one of the murder charges will be dropped. If he was being chased, knocked to the ground, and shot the people doing that to him, he was justified due to being afraid for his life. The skateboard is enough to kill a person if you hit the trucks against their head. The head shot victim may be another story. Not enough info to judge that one.

I wasn't going to comment on a third thread today, but I think you may have hit on the key to the case. IMO looking at the second two shootings, it's clearly self defense though he'd have some weapons charges to deal with since he can't legally possess a firearm in either WI or IL.

Hard to make out the video of the first shooting. Several posters have said that he was in a parking lot, noticed a rioter smashing the window of a car. He approached the rioter, words were exchanged, and he fired a warning shot over his head. That's bad, because there's no such thing as a legal warning shot except for Joe Biden, and firing in the air is the worst. The rioter threw something burning and he, maybe someone else, shot him in the head. Which began the pursuit the ended with the next two shootings. If the prosecutor can establish Kyle was partially responsible for provoking the incident, he can no longer argue self defense. My guess the 1st degree charge says the prosecutor thinks he can. Here's hoping the kid wasn't active on social media, anything he said can go to the reason he was out there that night, and cost him a self defense defense on the incident.
