Michael Forest Reinoehl had a right to STAND HIS GROUND.

I understand that the terrible video says one thing. It is not near enough. BUT, you right wingers say that REALLY feeling in danger, IS DANGER, and is justification for killing.

Depending on the state, using deadly force is considered legal self defense if the person reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself. Imminent means at that very moment, and doesn't apply to someone who is not being attacked and decides to approach and kill someone as a preventive measure so an attack doesn't take place.

That is correct. STill doesnt make what the dead guy said untrue. With him dead, it is TOOOOOOOOOOOO easy to lay the blame all on him, to make cops heroes. Same with Bryanna. Her boyfriend was promised goodies, if he would smear her in death.
 
He was faced with opponents that were armed, and attacking folks, with SO CALLED NONLETHAL weapons. He says he feared that he and a friend would be killed. So, he shot the thug.

Why are right wingers allowed to slaughter kids they think MIGHT be casing houses? Hunt joggers?

This man had EVERY reason to feel threatened.

The thug was shot, almost if not actually, simultaneously as he shot others.

Why is it, that white folks are allowed to be scared, but others are not?
Why is it, that black folks are shot for saying that they have a LEGAL firearm? Why is it, that blacks are considered armed, if they have a knife in the seatwell? And are out of the car?

We have two classes of people. Ones that can protect their lives, and those that have to hope not to be snuffed.

AS for this killing, I dont trust cops. They should have had bodycam. If not, why not?

The details are sketchy, and the claims of his producing a weapon, are in conflict within the statements.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Initial reports indicate the suspect produced a firearm, threatening the lives of law enforcement officers,” the Marshals Service said in a statement. “Task force members responded to the threat and struck the suspect who was pronounced dead at the scene.”

“As they attempted to apprehend him, there was gunfire,” he said, adding that four officers fired their weapons and that the suspect was thought to be armed. Shots were fired into the vehicle and the suspect fled, then more shots were fired.
What We Know About the Death of Michael Forest Reinoehl, the Portland Shooting Suspect

Igf you watch the video the first person he shot in the head and killed was across the street and in no way was attacking him or his friends. And second, Wisconsin is not a "stand your Ground " state.

That is a lie. I pointed that out to you on the thread that you created where you made the same bogus claim.
