With this, you may as well just come out and say you don't even want to try to discuss this rationally. It's not irrational in the least to think this was self defense.

Feel free to demonstrate to me where Kyle will be able to clearly establish imminent mortal danger from an unarmed plastic bag thrower. Again, this is not stand your ground territory, the threshold for self defense is much higher.

Whoa, you know this how? Funny how earlier you sarcastically stated one of my points was a conservative talking points and how you're passing shite off as fact that you absolutely do not know if it is fact. For every report that he was the aggressor, there are reports that he was not, you're choosing to believe one side because you're not even remotely trying to view this through an unbiased lens.

Read those words again. IF Kyle was the initial antagonist, which loose reports suggest may be the case, than what you have is a situation where Kyle was threatening people with lethal force and people attempted to intervene and disarm him(keeping in mind interviews from earlier that night have him and people with him explicitly saying they would and were threatening perceived lawbreakers with lethal force until police arrive, for which they have no authority to do so, as the sheriff explicitly refused to deputize these people). To which he would become the aggressor and a plastic bag would not in anyway become a justification to murder someone after being the instigator(see the law section I pasted for you and you ignored). And if he murdered someone in that context, he is also now an active shooter. And self defense really falls apart then.

A lot is going to come down to what prompted the chase, what instigating factors were at play, and from everything you have shown me, and the letter of Wisconsin law, it seems very hard for Kyle to claim self defense during the first murder.

Like I said, you're showing here that you already know the charges are BS, so you're making preemptive excuses as to why he'll get off when the reality is, he'll probably get off because this wasn't 1st degree murder.

No, it just seems you can’t engage on the merits of a conversation so you are reaching for ad hominems and straw men.

Larger point doesn’t go away because of it, the situation exists because the Kenosha police department failed to apply justice equitably in their community. Had they done so Kyle would have been told to go home for breaking curfew, potentially charged with a misdemeanor for illegal firearm brandishing as a minor, his life wouldn’t be upside down facing murder charges, and three people would still be alive. Racist policing affects more than just black people. Would be better if some of you so blinded by your tribalism could see it.
