Probably time for a Kyle Rittenhouse thread.

There’s a lot more room to argue because Kyle’s actions to decide to put out fires and help people were good, his choice of setting to do them in was not so good

But when we consider self defense, it is possible to legally defend oneself with a gun and still be in the wrong, here’s an example:

I have a gun, I see another guy and decide to antagonize the living shit out of him verbally. I call him a bitch, a piece of shit, any insult I can think of based on his appearance or otherwise

He eventually gets pissed, picks up a rock, says “now you done it, I’m gonna beat the shit outta you”. As he gets close I open fire killing him


In this situation both people are in the wrong. The other person should have let the insults go, words are just words. And the person with a gun is in the wrong for provoking an innocent person into getting himself killed

Does this mean that the self-defense claim should be thrown out? Not sure what happens legally there, but both parties are in the wrong in that scenario

you get reckless endangermentmanslaughtery stuff happening because you did do something wrong but you weren't premeditatiadly just hiding in the bushes shooting ppl big difference, even if you really wanted to kill that person that person still didn't have to attack you and u were still sorta respecting their rights just being a manipulative asshole

definately not murder per the law ish, because ppl go to a place have things happen without any intention at all and get fucking pissed and mad

---- that guy in wesley chappel who killed the guy in the movie theatre for throwing popcorn was pretty fucked up, similar tho and that guy was a cop

there's usually several things that lead up to stuff like that

kyle definately needs therapy and probably shouldn't be allowed to own a gun or join the armed services unless he moves out to the middle of no were and carries only on his property

he's not a terrorist tho, and he's probably not a psychopath jeffery dalhlmer, definately a jerk and callous and immature and 150% not raised right
