Illinois teen arrested in fatal shooting at Kenosha protest, police say

McVeigh?? good grief.......... and apparently some on the "internets" attempt to equate the first two defending themselves, to the last who blew up a building full of innocents. How ridiculous is that?

btw, wasn't McVeigh in the army?

 

I read that all 3 people shot had criminal records that meant they could not have firearms.

 

They can that is unless they are the aggressors.

 

He was being chased by violent thugs, when he had to defend himself, shooting the guy in the head (not face), he immediately gets out his phone to call police. Police told him to turn himself in asap.

He is then chased by more of the mob who are now armed and when he falls they swarm him. The kid defends himself perfectly, hitting only those attacking and no one who was not attacking him. He even got his safety off and got a shot off before he was killed.

Then he gets up, and turns himself in immediately.

The lawyer who is representing him says that while the law says one must be 18 in Wisconsin to carry a weapon-there are loopholes in the law, pertaining to minors that do allow it.

And what are the odds that all 3 shot were thugs with extensive criminal history? Thats the type of crowd that is drawn to the chaos created when democrat governors and mayors refuse to do their job. If they had-maybe this kid wouldn't have felt the need to carry a gun to protect himself.

 

Its amazing isn't it.

 

Hurry up and defund the police.

 

Just someone who both at trial and US Civil Rights Division of the DOJ found was lawfully defending himself from a vicious attack. And BTW noted how shamefully that criminal is being memorialized today at at the celebration of the MLK Lincoln Memorial speech......what a disrespect to MLK.

 

What criminal" are you talking about?

 

Donut operator did a good breakdown here...


MGG discussing this here...

 

Obviously....So far we don't really know who started that shooting
but they know who started this one...
A Black Lives Matter Protester Was Shot At A Demonstration In Albuquerque
A protester was shot in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Monday evening after violence broke out at a demonstration calling for the removal of a statue of a 16th-century ruler linked to the massacre of hundreds of Native Americans.
Albuquerque police detained members of the militia for questioning, as well as one other man who was on the scene and appeared to be involved in a confrontation with several protesters but was dressed differently than the militia members.
“We are receiving reports about vigilante groups possibly instigating this violence,” the police announced. “If this is true will be holding them accountable to the fullest extent of the law, including federal hate group designation and prosecution.”

 

Where does that nonsense come from? He called his friend Dominic who was likely a member of that militia group.

 

The Marine Corp disqualified him? Well they also disqualified a guy by the name of Audie Murphy so your point is what exactly? Well you have no point since in your own words "I am guessing."

Are you sure? In ALL cases it is illegal for a minor to carry a weapon? I'm not so sure. It could be legal if on private property with adult supervision.

 

Good point vman...
“We are receiving reports about vigilante groups possibly instigating this violence,” the police announced. “If this is true will be holding them accountable to the fullest extent of the law, including federal hate group designation and prosecution.”
"Earlier this month, the Albuquerque Police Department announced that it was investigating an unauthorized meeting between “a couple of our officers” and the group."

If the police want these militia groups to do their job for them...why should we pay them

 

Except where the two felons were trying to kill him, of course.

 

Video has come out of him helping some people who had injuries well before the incident... So much for him going be violent... Unlike those he shot....

 

Turned down because he was underweight (because he was only 16). I don't think that was MAGA Kyle's problem either.

Do you even read these things before posting?

 

And that tacit support appears to have been the problem in Kenosha as well.

 

You did not answer my question. You weasled out of it and made a squirrel argument. I will answer your question when you have directly addressed mine.

 

I am curious....Is that really what police officers are trained to do...shoot first ask questions later?

Remember this one?
Shooting of Philando Castile
"Reynolds told the officer, "You shot four bullets into him, sir. He was just getting his license and registration, sir."
The day following the shooting, Reynolds said that police had "treated me like a criminal ... like it was my fault."[25] She also said that officers had failed to check Castile for a pulse or to see if he was breathing for several minutes after the shooting, and instead comforted the officer who had fired the shots.

 

Apparently the cops knew he was coming, they just didn't know it was him coming in from up the road.

 

According to Dan Lamothe of the Washington Post, Kyle Rittenhouse “attempted to join the Marine Corps in January, but was disqualified from serving after discussing his options with recruiters.” The military didn’t release the reason for the disqualification.


Ths is what you are basing it on.... One persons word?


Btw.. From your own source..
Three witnesses told Heavy that the initial shooting ignited when a man, who was white, argued with Black Lives Matter protesters because they had lit fires in the area. However, that information is not confirmed. However, they described a person in a helmet and bulletproof vest and said he was a different person from the man in a green shirt (who was Rittenhouse.) Eyewitness accounts can often be contradictory or even wrong after chaotic mass shootings.

 

They didn't shoot first and ask questions later.

They were called to the scene for a guy with a warrant, who had stolen a vehicle and was not only resisting, but had been tazed.

The AG confirms he had a knife.

 

He was also a fire explorer, police explorer, and EMT.

 

So much for a trial.
