What a shit title...

This little cunt came up from Illinois with his man-baby militia to intimidate people with his big scary rifle, and is being charged with 1st degree intentional homicide. A few minutes before the video starts, he had already shot and killed one person, and that's why the crowd was chasing him down to try and disarm him (Because the Police weren't doing shit despite being a block away). I can't condone the rioting and the destruction of private property, but that doesn't mean you get to start killing people in the streets.

The gun laws in Wisconsin, despite being very loose and relaxed, still don't allow for the use of deadly force to defend private property. You can't shoot someone just because they're rioting. Maybe if the police did their fucking jobs (instead of gunning down unarmed people, and standing by while people burn down businesses), they could protect the property and arrest the rioters who are causing real problems.

I'm not on the side of this cunt, however how many times are we going to have riots and protesting about police, and then the rioters need the assistance of the police at the same time? I saw one protest, and it was a peaceful protest, about the cops, and someone walks up and slaps one of the protesters and the protesters were going crazy because they wanted to cops to arrest her. Wait, you're sitting here telling them how bad they all are, and then you also want their help when you need it? A cop did step forward and arrest the idiot.

In this example, the people were peacefully protesting that they wanted police to do their job correctly (not the overuse of force beyond what is necessary). Arresting someone for slapping another person ("Simple Assault") is part of police doing their job correctly = aligns with what the people are peacefully protesting for.
Now, if the police then arrested that person for "Simple Assault" (a misdemeanor) and then handcuffed them, threw them to the ground, and put a knee on their neck until they died - THIS would be incongruous to what the people are asking for.

You're literally telling the cops "fuck you you pieces of shit..oh wait, we need the police now!"

You can't have it both ways.

Yes, there is hope that police that don't overuse force is possible.

Here's a tip: There are bad cops in the world. But not every cop is like this. I know you want to believe it because it's popular to say it but there are good cops out there. Sorry to burst your bubble and make you cry. I hope you never need the police since you hate them so much.

Peacefully setting shit on fire more like it.

If they were "setting shit on fire," - I do not consider that a peaceful protest.
It they were walking down the street carrying signs and chanting slogans, I am all for Americans to assemble for this kind of peaceful protest. Our country is founded on protest and freedom of speech, freedom of assembly.

If, in the evening/night, a different group of people are burning buildings and breaking windows, just because they can get away with it in the confusion (and are just breaking windows to steal things to enrich themselves, with no regard to what the daytime people protesters are arguing for... I have almost no sympathy for that behavior. That is just simply selfish opportunism.) That is a different event, that needs to be handled differently. I think you and I can agree on that position.

Apparently you haven't paid attention to what's been goin on there. Many of these "peaceful" protestors had guns, bats, and clubs. A lot of these antifa bitches are just criminal shits looking for a fight.

The first guy shot was a convicted pedophile. The second was a felon convicted multiple times for beating and choking women. The guy shot in the arm was surprise another convicted felon carrying a Glock he had no legal right to own.

Kyle did NOT bring a weapon with him. It was not his rifle. An older friend gave it to him after the "peaceful" protesters starting harassing and threatening them.

He did not shoot first. At the beginning of the whole thing, video clearly shows muzzle flashes from a handgun. This is right before the first "peaceful" protester tossed a molotov at kyle and reached for his weapon.

This kid defended himself against lawless scum. These are the heroes of the left. Criminals and degenerates.

He did not shoot someone "just because they're rioting." The first guy that was shot was charging at him.
