Who are you talking about? Kid or protestor.

Also, hate that you made me read but I couldnt find anything on the protesters shot.

So that's my point. If the facts are not yet in evidence we are just speculating.
I'm not going to get into property vs. Lives. Not the issue here. Only not the issue because was dumb and underage. If this had been an adult in possession of a weapon legally I'm not sure how things go down.

There is information on all 3 protesters that were shot. All parties had criminal backgrounds. Not saying it's relevant or anything, but I do believe the felon with the handgun will be charged. That's why I responded to your post, because I know you said you don't believe any of the protesters were charged (although I don't think he was charged yet).

So, a couple things...

The kids had a firearm. He was underage. That is a felony.
When the kid got out of the car in Wisconsin he was breaking both state and federal laws. Just by standing there. Unless he throws that gun away he is in the commission of a felony, just doing nothing. Just standing on the street, he's in violation.

Anything that happens after that can no way attach to the defense of self defense. In other words. If a protester directly threatened the kids life that person could be arrested but it in no way provides a defence for a person in the commission of a felony to commit another felony. So if the kid now raises his weapon and shoots the protester he would be charged with felonious assault. The protestor would also be charged with assault by threat.
Just curious, is this based off relevant local laws or your understanding? Just asking because in NY, self defense still applies whether the gun is legal or illegal. You get charged with the illegal possession.

So the reason im confident in what im saying is that im a criminal who is under disability because of felonies.

If someone breaks into my house and a gun magically appeared in my hand and I shot him I get charged with...

Possession of a weapon under disability.
Assault with a deadly weapon (gun spec)
Murder (not manslaughter) (gun spec) if the guy dies

Nothing I do changes those charges.
Funny thing is that if I pick up a crossbow and walking dead him I get no charges.

In Ohio you get the full ride if you're a felon and you use a forbidden weapon to "defend" yourself (unless it's some crazy movie situation where I wrestle the gun away from him)

Distance doesn't matter. State line matters. Cross a state line in the commission of a felony and it becomes federal. Will the feds pick it up? No idea. I was never charged with federal crimes.

Oh ok, because it doesn't seem WI and IL have the same limitations as Ohio from looking so far. They're saying what will get him is if he brandished the weapon and threatened anybody. Not really because he was in illegal possession across state lines.

Yes, I'm aware and wasn't arguing that. Hockey said he drove over from several states away and I was just correcting that. Also many see crossing states as unusual, so I was just poiting out it's like going from The Bronx to downtown Manhattan or going from Manhattan to Jersey City, which is like 10 minutes, but is crossing state lines.

that purpose doesn't hold up in court because he's not a cop. Making stupid argument about why he was there with an illegal firearm some out-of-state shooting at people doesn't matter. He's not a security guard. He's not a cop. He's not lawfully authorized to quote protect anybody's ish.

This is true.

It sorta makes it sound like he took the law into his own hands which is also illegal afaik. Vigilantism and all that.

In most states, but don't want to go look up for WI, you are unable to claim self defense if you committed an illegal action leading to the incident in which you are trying to claim self defense. Brandishing an illegal firearm seems like in most states it would prevent him from claiming self defense.

So kid illegally has a firearm, crossed state lines in to attend a protest to "protect" an already burned down building, kills someone prior and then runs away when people are trying to disarm this kid and kills the person trying to disarm him.

Fuck this kid he's a piece of shit and needs to be charged with murder. Literally instigated the entire thing. Charge the person that took him there in the first place with child abuse too.

Something that hasn't been brought up yet is that if the fucker wants to use self defense as a defense in court, he needs to not only prove he was in grave danger but also that retreat was not an option (WI requires one to retreat in public if safe to do so--it's not a stand your ground state). It's likely that the police have access to witnesses and video we don't, but even setting aside the question of whether illegally carrying the firearm automatically negates self defense, he's going to have a hell of time trying to convince a jury of that defense, especially given he was clearly intending to pick a fight.

That's in addition to the fact that if he provoked whatever he was supposedly defending against (pointed the gun at someone, said something threatening, etc.) it's game over.

Maybe you need to go read that NYT threat, because he was actively fleeing prior to taking any shots and only shot the first person after being knocked down and someone in the mob firing their own gun into the air. That would be why it hasn't been brought up.

You are right to a certain point. He's stirring the pot a bit by being there. But anti protesters are allowed to be where protesters are.

A couple months ago a guy from NM was an anti protestor at a statue thing. He wound up dragging a woman protester to the ground by her hair. As a result, he got chased. He fled. The chasers caught up to him and attacked him with a skateboard and another pulled out knives. The guy shot the knife guy, and was initially charged with attempted murder or something, but the charges were dropped once the video showing he was being attacked while fleeing surfaced. It didn't matter that he was an anti protester carrying a gun into the lions cage. It didn't matter that he did something that made people want to chase him. The reality is that he fled, and therefore he is no longer a threat, and therefore use of deadly force against him is illegal.

If something similar to that happened with Rittenhouse leading to him shooting the very first guy (the one with unclear footage), for example if he was being chased and threatened with deadly force, and evidence of that surfaces, they will probably drop any violent crime charges against him.

What problem did he cause? We don't know why the first guy was even chasing him, and we have video of the first guy being threatening before the shooting, saying "shoot me n****. I dare you" to a crowd of people with rifles. It seems like he was the one causing the problem.

It doesn't matter if you caused a problem *if you're fleeing*. If Rittenhouse was being attacked or threatened with deadly force *while fleeing*, then he has a right to defend himself even if he caused a problem that influenced them to chase him.

For example, if I shove a protester, then the protester and others around them can use *reasonable* force to get me to leave them alone and respect their space. If in response to that I use force again, that's not allowed, and I'd be rightfully punished.

However if I shove a protester and then turn around and run, *the protester is not allowed to chase me and then use force against me*, because there's no reason to since I've left the area and am no longer a problem to them.

Stand your ground laws only pertain to whether a person has a duty to flee or not. So if he was fleeing, stand your ground doesn't even come into play.
