He’s correct. The Kid is Paul Revere.

Gun beats skateboard.


And rifle beats pistol.

I disagree. From what little I could see in the videos, he had good control over his weapon until he had no choice but to use it, and he maintained possession of it.

A video game freak likely would not have a weapon like that to begin with, and if he did, he’d be like in the games, just shooting away from the very beginning.

This kids life was in serious danger.

If this all turns out to be the start of CWII, this young man may very well get credit for the first two commie kills.

YES!

Some details, seven minutes in the Seventh Circle of Hell.

agree. I bet after being arrested for self defense, he may have second thoughts about who his “Blue Lives Matter” cop buddies answer to.....their political masters.

“If he has some kind of relationship with the owner of the property he was protecting, I’d say he deserves a medal. My fear is that he was just some bored, naive kid from Illinois who has played too many video games and had no clue what he was getting himself into.”
****************************************************
He most definitely had way more than a clue what he was getting himself into. He performed superbly, was disciplined, only engaged when he was attacked and only engaged the actual threats who were attacking him. He didn’t panic. He obeyed self defense laws such as retreating when able. This kid has drilled and trained.

. . . before it was deleted Thursday morning.

How long before he is replaced with a pod person who tweets an apology, like Logan Couture?

The police have their hands tied, so they’re not quite as responsible.

"I was just following orders". I believe we are reaching the point where that is not going to fly as an excuse for watching innocent people getting assaulted (and worse) and their property destroyed. The police unions should be backing mass refusals by officers to obey stand down orders from politicians. City police chiefs are political animals, so I include their orders in this comment.

I know a lot of cops are doing their best under the circumstances, but battle lines are being drawn and hard choices will have to be made. I also believe that the good ones are going to throw in the towel and get out of LE and their replacements will be the type of people we do not want in those positions.

"...may very well get credit for the first two commie kills..."

...or it could go to the guy in Austin who shot Garrett Foster - who had pointed his AK-47 at him.

That would make these dudes #2 & 3.

There's more to doing good than just defending your friends and your family. For example there's your local area and country...

Hmmm. Censored. For those who don’t have accounts to watch that and are adults,...

From what I saw he showed restraint, he only shot those attacking him and not even all of them, he did not shoot the black guy who tried to kick him in the head.

I watched David Muir and ABC NEWS last night.
Muir stated(paraphrased) Kyle was running, shooting at the chasers. They even added gunfire to the soundtrack of the short video.
Never showed past Kyle falling down. No attacks by the chasers.
A truly disgusting 'interpretation' of the event.

The MSM is 100% complicit in fanning the flames of this rioting.

Clearly showing the gun in hand.

OH! But there will be riots in the streets if we don’t put this kid in jail.

He obeyed the first rule of the gunfight. Have a gun.
