Prosecutions own witnesses are claiming self defense, reacting to not intending too cause harm
By using your own logic, the minute the 2 "victims"/looters/"protesters" joined the BLM mob, they should have expected to have whatever happen to them happen.Yes, I saw that yesterday.
Their "star witness" lied to the cops, told them at the trial he had a gun and did point it at Kyle after having his hands up first, assuming Kyle was going to shoot him.
Regardless, that destroyed his own testimony.
Against this guy, Kyle was defending himself.
The other two still have to be decided for.
Look, I get you all love the little shit and think he should get off and he's the oh so innocent widdle childman boy, and he will.
But the moment this then seventeen year old *crossed state lines* to join a "protection brigade" (my words) against highly emotionally charged protesters (and looters and rioters too) and was given a WEAPON he was NOT LEGALLY ALLOWED TO HAVE, how could anyone with any reason what so ever NOT expect someone to be hurt or killed by him?
Why is it of all the people there armed to "Defend" places, only this teen not only shot people, but killed them?
Did he intend to murder anyone? Nope.
Was it a likelyhood? Totally.
He was failed; failed by his own fucking mother who should have said "No" and NOT driven him there, failed by the people who gave him the gun and failed by the people who thought it was okay for him to be there to begin with.
But again, because what he was charged with cannot be proven in absolute, he'll walk. Anyone smart saw that before the trial.
We'll see if a Civil suit comes out of it and how that goes.
For me, this topic is now closed and y'all can circle jerk yourselves with joy that the little racist shit will walk.
It goes from a Class I Felony to Class H.Here's a question that I find interesting. A person named Dominick Black bought the weapon for Rottenhouse.
Providing a weapon to a person who could not legally acquire that weapon is a crime.
What, if anything, should Black's punishment be? Should it be greater or lower because of the homicides?
What homicides? If ruled self-defense, there is no homicide is there?Here's a question that I find interesting. A person named Dominick Black bought the weapon for Rottenhouse.

Here we bloody go again.What homicides? If ruled self-defense, there is no homicide is there?
Oh dear. You read "What should the penalty be" and thought "What is the class of charges?"It goes from a Class I Felony to Class H.

He was scrubbing graffiti off the walls and cleaning up the mess of rioters hours before the incident went down, not sure exactly what kind of trouble he was looking for.And yes, he was probably looking for trouble. As were the protesters/rioters in the mob. But as our resident internet lawyer has pointed out, self-defense applies to the moment of the action only. How they got there is irrelevant.
I always assumed homicide meant murder (the illegal kind). Not being an internet lawyer, it has never really come up .... til now.Here we bloody go again.
I really can't be bothered to give you a primer on the differences between "homicide" and the various criminal degrees of homicide. But here's a hint. . . "homicide" means "the killing of a person." It has nothing to do with legal culpability for killing the person.
Google is your friend.
It's possible you may be mistaking people's admiration for a kid standing up against chaos and anarchy for the utter contempt most logical people feel for anarchists, and the disdain they have toward useless leftist governments championing the destruction of their own cities.Look, I get you all love the little shit and think he should get off and he's the oh so innocent widdle childman boy, and he will.
He is not a tough guy. He never pretended to be a tough guy. He is a kid. Give him a break.
