That doesn't count as self-defense, but that's only because we've now legalized cars running over people on the street for political reasons. Cars are more important than guns.

A better scenario would jumping into a busy bike lane. Since the killing of bicyclists by cars is mostly legal, I suspect that killing them with a gun is probably legal too.

I guess running onto a football field with a gun and shooting would probably be illegal, because sports are more important than guns in the US still. Unless there is a stadium in the US that allows open carry.

EDIT: I'm assuming the gunman here is white or white passing

In a 6-3 decision, the supreme court finds that any kills made with an suv or an ar15 are nice and legal ;)

Oh and email compression is in no way the arcane magicks unknown to the legal profession the defense is pretending it is but it's also pure amateur hour for the prosecution to not burn a direct copy and make them sign for it.

lol he's an idealistic dumbass who thought he'd be a "good guy with a gun" protecting innocent people's property. He was cosplaying as a cop and medic. He did say he would have liked to shoot some shoplifters (subtly different than protestors) on some video.

Is killing someone ever justifiable self defense? I've talked to people who say no to that unequivocally, which surprises me. What are reasonable self-defense criteria to y'all?

lol ah yes, the "you get one bullet, better make it count" theory of self defense.

I can't believe anyone would dare suggest intentionally traveling to another state with your firearm to an area of known civil unrest and rioting as a minor to wander the streets after dark could ever be misconstrued as premeditated or provocation. This is pure stand your ground self defense I rest my case.

17 year olds have underdeveloped prefrontal cortex, responsible for making judgment calls, most lack it, kyle is a pig with a void in his head other than a desire to make the world bend to his will by snuffing people out in a way he can put himself in danger to do so, because most 17 year olds aren't on trial for murder, they're trying to scam their friends for NFTs and fortnite skins

He's on camera saying he went to Kenosha to "put himself in harm's way". That's like walking in to oncoming traffic and shooting the driver of a car about to hit you in "self-defense".

It's not, just pointing out the "he shouldn't have been there" is a bullshit argument and applies equally well to the dipshits he shot.

You're still wrong even if you didn't specify "death or great bodily harm". You're missing an entire section of the self defense statute that talks about provocation.
