Can you claim self defense when you are committing a crime already?
That's the thing. After the first shooting, the others he shot can claim they were affecting a citizen's arrest. Guns to often make bad situations worst.
 
I wouldn't be so sure of that. Locals might see him as an out-of-state agitator. But you are right, in that it only takes one juror to toss the case. I suspect he will go down on an illegal carry, though.

It was perfectly legal to carry. He is also a local to the area as he lives less than 30 miles away in the state. He will get a proper defense attorney too.

Is it legal for a 17 year old to carry in either Wisconsin or Illinois?
 
On paper, Kyle did not violate any laws. But he did express the wrong political views, and will likely spend several decades in prison as a result.
You need to be 18 to carry in WI. He may or may not beat the direct charges, but I strongly suspect he will take a fall on the carry offense.

It is legal for a 17 year old to carry a rifle in Wisconsin. You would know this if you read your own links.
 
The most logical and likely answer is that he was volunteering to protect property that rioters were destroying, and police were doing nothing about. The rioters didn't like that, so they decided to attack him.
Yeah, but he's not of legal age to do that in WI.
 
Nobody should be sad for Kyle. He's a piece of human trash that deserves to rot his life away in a prison cell.

When I looked at his FB pages he looked like a kid (with a poor fashion sense) that likely had big dreams of being a cop. He was involved in programs that would benefit him in the long run. Obviously he made a very stupid decision to go to Wisconsin which was then followed by several more. We hear all the time how cops have to make split second decisions. They're trained for that. This was some 17 year old kid that got a plastic bag thrown at him while being chased and he panicked and killed the guy. Then he followed that with several more stupid decisions. He simply was not equipped with the maturity to be in that situation to begin with. Instead of playing lifeguard at the YMCA he'll be looking for attorney. For me, it's sad he made all those bad decisions that cost two people their lives. :shrug:
 
Then he obviously strayed off (another stupid move) where he was chased by the first victim and had a plastic bag thrown at him. He peed his pants and shot the man in the head.

And the moral of the story is: if you attack someone holding a rifle you will be shot in the head.

Then he ran from the scene of the crime. When the people that followed him caught up and made their own moves he threatened them and shot shot two more. And then took off again.

Self defense is not a crime and those idiots attacked him.

I did see him approach the police but they had no idea who he was or why so they ignored him. And he sure didn't become adamant that they hear what he'd just done.

The cops had no reason to arrest him, that why they let him go.

That is a very nice thing to say about a cold-blooded killer.

Nope, not old enough. But it looks like that's only a misdemeanor. The adult that supplied the gun is liable to a felony though, due to the shooting. Though I wonder if that applies if it's determined to be a good shoot?
 
I suppose you think yourself very clever. I'll let you continue in that belief.
I didn't "think of myself" at all, here. But I was willing to do some research and apply it to the circumstance..

I believe its legal in Wisconsin but dont quote me on that. Apparently he is under 18. I am not sure how that works for minors considering they are able to hunt.

C'mon man. Why'd you have to ruin the joke like that? It was fun to watch them make fools of themselves.

Being attacked by a pack wolves. As soon as those ****s are buried I hope people make it a point to find and piss on their graves.

^ So much for "all lives matter." :roll:
 
Obviously not much.
I must admit to a penchant for not wasting my time. So, I only did enough to win my case. Admittedly, it involved little more than reading the posts you overlooked. Better luck next time.

They do right up till those same lives start attacking others destroying property and lives. Then **** those ****s. They deserved what they got plus some.

Pity.

At least you admit that "All lives matter" was a cover for racism. :shrug:

I guess that's why he's now charged with two counted of murder. He wanted to play big boy games until he got scared by a plastic bag and peed himself.
