Binger argued that Rittenhouse did “nothing to demonstrate to the crowd that he isn’t a threat to kill again,” saying he should have fired warning shots.

Now I've heard it all... a prosecutor who says you SHOULD fire warning shots. Okay

Not just a prosecutor, the current occupant of the White House is on the record saying the same thing...and the clear choice of 81 million Americans can be wrong.

“a prosecutor who says you SHOULD fire warning shots”

I’m certain there was a non BLM person who was charged with a reckless discharge count by doing that very thing. That story was posted here. So this DERANGED WHACK JOB IS FULL OF IT.

“Now I've heard it all... a prosecutor who says you SHOULD fire warning shots. Okay”

From a Wisconsin attorney in May of 2019:
Should I Shoot a Warning Shot?
As a responsibly armed citizen, you must remember that you are responsible for every round that leaves your firearm. And don't forget: “What goes up must come down.” Just because you weren't intending to hurt someone or damage something doesn't mean you won't.

In many places (check your local laws), a warning shot may be considered a use of deadly force. Even though you probably intend to fire a “warning,” you could potentially hurt or even kill someone with that shot. Therefore, the act of taking that shot could be viewed by the justice system as deadly force.
