Police shooting black man in the back ... again (Kenosha, WI)

[KB5252]

He wounded an armed man who attacked him. Alternate facts I guess

Exactly when a good percentage of those protesting and rioting are from outside of the community. If those people can come to riot, he can come to protect people and property.

Had he indiscriminately opened fire on peaceful protestors he'd be wrong and I'd condemn his actions........ But that isn't what happened.

It's almost like guns make us less safe.

Only if you’re harassing somebody with a gun. If you’re being harassed by multiple people and you have a gun I’d say you’re more safe than not having one. Take for example this guy shooting three people who were assaulting him. Threat removed!

 

[theFallGuy]

It's what happens when you go looking for trouble. I suppose you think he is a responsible gun owner too?

LOL. Literally applies to every single person in the street rioting.

 

[carlos86]

So you believe he traveled with the intent to kill someone? Even though with all the available targets the only people he shot were attacking him?

Yes when he responded to the Militias “call to arms”

 

[NorthDallas40]

Yes when he responded to the Militias “call to arms”

LMFAO

 

[C-south]

It’s an overreaching political charge. It was self defense and he will be fine.

You just can’t make this **** up. You’re a mind reader too.

So he chased down the guys and just shot them?

 

[hog88]

That’s where the U.S. Attorney comes into play.

So no charges.

 

[KB5252]

He will beat this charge. The video evidence shows him retreating from a mob yelling "get him". Multiple people were assaulting him he fired at and struck them.

So, he went home that night. Great work there WI.

 

[NorthDallas40]

So does anybody know the prevailing law in cheesehead land with regard to lethal force in defense of property?

I know in TX I can use lethal force for defense of self, others, and my property. I am pretty sure that extends to some degree to the property of others but frankly I never looked close since I’m not gonna shoot somebody for stealing somebody else’s property.

I think in TX this guy would be fine. Especially when he was prone with multiple people over him and having assaulted him.

 

[utvolpj]

Yes when he responded to the Militias “call to arms”

So call to arms = call for murder?

There's literally video of him being attacked from behind by at least one armed man (who is ironically now a one armed man)

 

[KB5252]

Actually he surrendered to police after the shooting, who never apprehended him, he'll beat that charge easily as well.

 

[NorthDallas40]

So he’s being charged in Illinois for a crime committed in Wisconsin?!

LMFAO shouldn’t Illinois focus on charging their own criminals first?

 

[ButchPlz]

My apologies if I offended. Was not intention.

No offense at all!

They’re too busy blaming other municipalities for their violent crime epidemic.

Good post.

The predicate offenses for felony murder and any seemingly applicable charges (assault?) would be good to look up, too.

one armed man (snicker)

I mean hell fire were how many pages in screeching and the only law were debating is this ridiculous Illinois charge?!

 

[RockyTop85]

If he went to the police and said “hey I shot those people” that’s a pretty good fact for him, assuming it’s otherwise obvious he‘a the one who did it. Prosecutors love to use flight as evidence of a guilty mind.

The Illinois charge is probably just an extradition warrant.

 

[NorthDallas40]

The Illinois charge is probably just an extradition warrant.

Extradition implies answering to charges from Wisconsin right? The way I read it he hasn’t been charged in Wisconsin... yet?
