That’s not how self defense works with the Rosenbaum shooting.

I am a certified NRA defensive pistol instructor. I always tell my civilian students that before you start shooting in self defense, you need show reasonable fear for your life (telling the the attacker to STOP, retreating/running away, put your hands up between you and the attacker with palms facing out to show that you don’t want to fight).

KR was literally running away with Rosenbaum hot on his tail before KR fell down behind a parked car and then KR shot&killed Rosenbaum. That’s enough evidence that KR was in fear for his life from Rosenbaum

Also, go watch the testimony from eye witnesses/reporter Richard McGinnis

On what basis was the gun illegally possessed?

There's no law in that state saying a 17 year old cannot possess a long rifle if you closely read the statutes.

Not that it really matters because it's irrelevant to the major charges.

And how does that show that Kyle could not have hit him with the gun or his fists?

How is McGinnis able to tell what the last two victims were thinking?

The most of us pro self defense folks called the verdict in this show trial quite a spell back. Yet still the leftist extremists couldn't let it go. They just kept yammering on about how KR needs to swing and he's a murderer. Blah blah blah. Pffffft! Brrrrrrap! Yeah. Same people who cheered on Ruby Ridge and Wacoand called Bernie Goetz a murderer. Sam people who see a hero in George Floyd and cheered if not participated in last years riots and the continuing mayhem in Portland.

I have to guffaw at the prosecution in this case. I can't recall a more inept legal team in my memory.

He's not required to attempt to hit someone with his gun or his fists, lethal force was justified due to the threat of attack by the child molester.


There simply is no case here, this incident is so open and shut it serves as an NPC test..... no reasonable and informed person would suggest it was anything but self defense given the facts.

That's why it might not even go to a jury. There legitimately might be a directed verdict. Something that basically NEVER happens.

... and he very likely lost his $10 million lawsuit against the city this afternoon. Withholding relevant facts in a civil complaint doesn't work.

I guess winning millions in a lawsuit and white guilt gofundme money doesn’t bring any class.

You would think they would just go away after winning the lottery.
