Kyle will be acquitted.
There's still the matter of the dead man who shouted "shoot me" that evening. He tried to grab Kyle's gun seconds before he was shot.

An assailant approaches you swinging a large powder puff in your direction. So shoot him? Or he has a plastic bag filled with water he throws at you...an immediate license to kill?
He doesn't have to know that his assailant is a suicidal convicted child rapist fresh out of a mental hospital to be allowed to defend himself using deadly force....it's just something we now know.

If I'm armed and a crazy person that previously that night threatened my life if he found me alone charges me while shouting obscenities while reaching for my gun, that would be their last official act.... and there wouldn't even be a trial.

Yup, the convicted felon with a lengthy criminal record.

I forgot about him. The radical left seems to have very nice people at these BLM race riots.

I would never have considered killing one of them. We just did not do that.
This isn’t a discussion about some random lady licking a teenager. It’s a discussion about an obviously unhinged street goblin who had made threats to kill people attempting to take KR’s rifle away from him and being sent on his merry way to the Promised Land through the justified use of deadly force. Why do you keep trying to go off topic?

Clearly he'd have taken out the entire angry mob with only his 8 black belts in Ameri-Do-Te.

Us mere mortals, we use firearms.

Well why aren't you citing the law?

He met the duty to retreat.

What other things does the law require in Wisconsin?

You seem to fit in well with the people that have made all kinds of wild, emotional claims and the minute we start discussing the actual law....*poooooof* you stop responding and won't discuss the relevant facts.

P.S. The 3rd shooting involved someone that testified that they were attempting something other than stopping Rittenhouse, so you're calling them a liar lol. You might want to arm yourself with facts, the law and reality instead of partisan rancor before your next post.

That poster and several others have already decided they do not want to deal in facts, the law or reality.

They just want to make unsourced emotional arguments and then hide like children under their beds when called on it.

There is a word for people that want to set aside the law when convenient and punish people according to their personal wishes....and we have several in this thread.

Yeah, it's the typical knee jerk response: Guns bad. No matter what.

I'm not even a gun owner and I can see it.
