Whelp. Not guilty. I can't see anything but more gin toting Magahats tooling up against protestors and just waiting for someone to wave a gun at them or run towards them so they can claim self defence when they start shooting.

Maybe they should have found him guilty to deter others from defending themselves ?

Not comparable to what actually happened. Luckily common sense was actually backed up by the law in this case.

As said before, I can't see it happening.

This post could bite me on the ass but I don't think it's a massive miscarriage of justice that usually kicks off protests and riots.

Perceived miscarriages of justice and how the media reports such things, that's why Kenosha was actually having riots for 3 days.

I'm sure every one hopes no more riots occur.

Oh no doubt but some nut jobs will see it as a free ticket to tool up and take on protestors just waiting for someone to make them 'fear for their safety'.

You can't legislate for the nut-jobs.. They will be found guilty if they go around using this as an excuse to murdering people rather than actually defending themselves.

Best not to get the pre-cogs and future police out just yet ;)

I didn't say that did I? When you have peoples beliefs taken to extremes on TV and on social media there will always be some who go to extremes themselves. That's what I'm concerned about. The next time there are protests there will be a much bigger response from those who purport to support the blue.

That doesn't necessarily work... There are already strong self-defence laws in place in various US states, stand your ground, castle doctrine etc.. This is hardly the first time someone armed with a firearm has opened fire in self-defence and had to justify it later in court, it's simply a prominent case.

If you're at a riot or protest and you see someone you don't like, armed with a semi-auto rifle, then it's probably not a good idea, in general, to chase after them and try to attack them, it's not that hard to do - don't go and start fights with people carrying AR15s is something most normal people can manage to do.

These weren't normal people though, every single person he shot or shot at seems to have been a criminal - whether it was someone who bummed small boys and was let out of a mental ward that morning or someone who was into kidnapping and abusing women.

There will be some that are hoping for this and will be there with guns. And I don't mean the police.
 
I'm seeing a lot of tweets referring to "White Supremacy".. but everyone involved (Kyle and the people he shot) were white weren't they? :confused:
 
I'm not gonna argue with the Jury's decision, they sat through it and discussed it - I think based on that it's a fair verdict.

Hopefully all the lunatic ultra lefties don't tear the town up tonight..

So now you're saying the victims history needs to be taken into account and this somehow justifies their killing? You should look through all the people that died on 9/11 and find some who's murder was justified because of their past too!

Antifa / BLM *** hats will be just fine if only then can refrain from threatening to kill people who they them go on to chase and try and attack other people all whilst engaged it trying to burn cities to the ground.

It's a big ask i know as they have become used to being able to break the law by threatening, intimidating and assaulting peope with relative impunity and with the tacit support of senior members of the democratic party...
