Gotta be honest, listened to the first 1:30 and bailed. In the opening monologue, he stated his position that the cop committed homicide so I made a guess on how the rest of the audio was to go. Can you provide the cliff notes version?

You decided to listen to nothing else because you heard something you didn't like?
 
self defense is not vigilante action

Good because we wouldn't want anyone to get confused here, like yourself, for instance.
Rittenhouse was not a Roof Korean or a business owner, or even a homeowner, or a tenant, or even a duly authorized agent of any of those above.
The only reason he went there was to shoot someone, which he did, twice.

His actions will never live in a vacuum in a court trial, because his actions stem from motivations, and those don't exist apart from his actions, as they are irrevocably intertwined. Absent any connection to this town other than his excitement at reading a call to arms from the Facebook page for the "Kenosha Guard", he had no other lawful purpose to be there other than his premeditation spurred on by his online comrades in arms.

This is almost similar to a person walking by a bar as a mass scale fight is breaking out.
If the person stays out of the action, and another patron exits the fight and comes after him, he has a right to defend himself but if he injects himself into the middle of the mass brawl and shoots a person, he forfeits his right to claim self defense because he premeditated on injecting himself into the brawl when his presence was neither called for or otherwise warranted.

this is a classic case where one's politics interferes with their understanding or at least discussion of a topic. You are making up his motivations based on your desire to put him in a bad light because he is a Trump supporter. SO the rest of your silly argument is dismissed since it is based on unsupported speculation
 
was Kyle carrying illegally?

Apparently not.

Wisconsin Legislature: 948.60
948.60 Possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18.
(1) In this section, “dangerous weapon" means any firearm, loaded or unloaded;
(2)
(a) Any person under 18 years of age who possesses or goes armed with a dangerous weapon is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
(3)
This section applies only to a person under 18 years of age who possesses or is armed with a rifle or a shotgun if the person is in violation of s. 941.28 or is not in compliance with ss. 29.304 and 29.593. This section applies only to an adult who transfers a firearm to a person under 18 years of age if the person under 18 years of age is not in compliance with ss. 29.304 and 29.593 or to an adult who is in violation of s. 941.28.

941.28 Possession of short-barreled shotgun or short-barreled rifle.
(1) In this section:

(b) “Short-barreled rifle" means a rifle having one or more barrels having a length of less than 16 inches measured from closed breech or bolt face to muzzle or a rifle having an overall length of less than 26 inches.
(c) “Short-barreled shotgun" means a shotgun having one or more barrels having a length of less than 18 inches measured from closed breech or bolt face to muzzle or a shotgun having an overall length of less than 26 inches.

(2) No person may sell or offer to sell, transport, purchase, possess or go armed with a short-barreled shotgun or short-barreled rifle.
(3) Any person violating this section is guilty of a Class H felony.
History: 1979 c. 115; 2001 a. 109.
29.304 Restrictions on hunting and use of firearms by persons under 16 years of age.
29.593 Requirement for certificate of accomplishment to obtain hunting approval.
(1)
29.593(1)(a)(a) Except as provided under subs. (2), (2m) and (3), and s. 29.592 (1), no person born on or after January 1, 1973, may obtain any approval authorizing hunting unless the person is issued a certificate of accomplishment under s. 29.591.
He appears to have been in compliance with 941.28, 29.304 and 29.593, so the age restrictions in 948.60 don't apply to a 17 year old.

Can you show me where I mentioned Trump?
Must be the fact that Trumpers love vigilantism and other forms of paramilitary nonsense so much that you assumed I was talking about Trump.
The problem predates Trump, actually.
It even predates Zimmerman.

It's frustrated nerdy little incel punks who dream of being big time enforcers, and their dysfunctional parents who egg them on.
It's angry small peen redneck boys who agonize over their impotency and resolve to become big time rebels, and their dysfunctional parents who egg them on. Up against the wall, redneck mother.

This kid's motivations were clear as crystal.
Yours, surprisingly, are not.
 
You decided to listen to nothing else because you heard something you didn't like?


After hearing that at the opening, I presumed it was not to be an objective piece. Especially at over 30mins long. Feel free to post some highlights or your thoughts as this is your thread.

you're just making things up

He did say it's own separate coverage. But the audio podcast was good. WE know what went down but THEY would rather be blind to it.

Come on Artymoon, I agree with Masterhawk. What's 30 mins. if you don't like it?

Not against listening to anything. I'm at work though and dedicating 30+mins doesn't always sit well with the boss. Who knows, maybe if I'm super bored when I get home.
