The only law that matters in this case is self-defense: https://law.justia.com/codes/wiscons...ection-939-48/
It's just one question:
In each of the 3 instances did Rittenhouse reasonably believe that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself?
Easy answer: yes.
A mob that is looting and burning the city says to "kill him" and "get him" and chases you.
- One of them grabs your gun. You are justified in shooting and killing them.
- One hits you over the head with a skateboard. You are justified in shooting and killing them.
- One of them pulls a gun on you and points it at you. You are justified in shooting and killing them.
Retreat is not required.
Trying to start with lower levels of force and increasing those levels of force is not required.
Open. Shut. Hope the jury doesn't drop the ball because of politics or personal bias.
Is it not a good lesson to youngsters:
- Do not threaten someone who has a gun
- Do not attack someone who isn't aggressive who has a gun
- Do not attack someone with a mob who isn't aggressive who has a gun
- Do not point a gun at someone with a gun and expect them not to shoot you
- Don't be a part of a mob that loots and burns
Good lessons. |
Cannot shoot a gun 4 times to kill a person you provoked to attack you. Who is unarmed. In a place only law enforcement are supposes to be in. The shooter isn’t protecting property. It was murder from a youth playing vigilante.
Castle this is actually a very important lesson for gun owners.
You aren’t legally entitled with your gun. Just because you have one.
You can’t brandish it at all times and anywhere you go legally.
You can’t use your gun lawfully to protect yourself in some states.
You CAN have your gun taken away if you mess up regardless of the 2nd amendment.
And if you are protecting your home and family in some states and if you kill an intruder you can be prosecuted.
It is almost like it really is not worth it, legally, to having a gun in some states.
And maybe we will have true gun control when one day it is again legal to sue gun manufacturers. Yeah, you heard me.
I can practically hear you all ‘as Elizundo’ would say in his tired 2016 MAGA cliche lingo rearing back your heads saying “REEEEEEEEEEE!!!!”
LOL
