He is a hero for defending himself.

As a professional LEO, firearm instructor, and OIF Army veteran, i'd say Kyle did extremely well.

Once again we dont know. Why did the thug rioters target Kyle? He did use restraint. He could have sprayed the crowd. He didn't. He only fired upon those who were attacking him. I dare say he used more restraint than many so-called professionals have in the past.

Do you have any evidence that he initiated the conflict? There is a lot of video evidence of him trying to escape the rioters before he fired a single shot.

I share your opinion. As I have said many times. If he was the blood thirsty vigilante that some make him out to be he would have initiated the confrontation and started spraying everyone who looked like a rioter. He instead only fired upon those who were attacking him.

He is only being prosecuted because politics got involved.

True that.

The left is only POed because the stereotypical trailer park kid bested their thugs.

One was armed with a pistol. He got his arm blown apart.

The rioters attacked Kyle. Had he attacked them I would be calling it a bad shoot. He was running away from them. Not at them. They were the aggressors. Now had he been the aggressor I would call it his fault. It's hard to call someone the aggressor who is running away from his attackers.

They did armed and ready to defend themselves if necessary. As we saw in this case their concerns were justified.
A skateboard versus a weapon of war. Try winning that argument in court. The fact is Rittenhouse came out in paramilitary fatigues, riot gear and had a weapon of war with him shouldn't be forgotten just because someone had a skateboard in hand.

As for the running, nice of you to use it here when y'all used that against the one guy that tazed the cops and got shot in Atlanta. Your racial bias is noted.

I highly doubt it's coincidental the rioting in Kenosha stopped after that night. Thugs prefer not to face being shot for their actions. If rioters face being shot by property owners wherever they riot you'd quickly see an end to rioting.

No army on the planet uses AR's.

If someone attacks you violently with any weapon, you're not obligated to only use the same kind of weapon in self-defense against them. A skateboard on the head can crush a skull and kill. It justified deadly force in self-defense.

And a bullet can kill you dead by bleeding out in minutes or going through the brain...

Sigh. It isn't about if the attacker had a bigger stick, it is about the attacker had a stick and was using it. There is no law that says you need to arm down to level the playing field for the aggressor.

As for the guy running from the cop. You might want to check what I had to say about that one before saying "you guys"

Your ignorance is noted because had you followed that thread you would have seen that I called it a bad shoot.

I called the Arbery shooting a bad shoot as well.

Finally for the record My son is black. My wife is Asian, and my daughters are half Asian and half white. My bias is against Thugs who loot and riot. Man when you are wrong, you are over the top wrong.
