Kyle is definatley innocent

whether or not he should have put himself at risk is another story, but as for the events, ultimately the fault of the attackers.

You are not a victim if you try disarm someone carrying a weapon...

in fact if you attempt to steal someones gun from them they are legally able to shoot the absolute fuck out of you.

Trying to disarm someone does not justify being murdered.

If the property isn't yours, you should expect the worst to happen in retaliation.

Okay, that means he might have been arguing from an "eat the rich!111!!!11!1" perspective, but not that he was incorporating white supremacy into his argument. The two are often related, but I don't think Cordel was going that way.

In other news, it has been alleged that Breonna Taylor’s ex-boyfriend was offered a plea deal in exchange for him naming Taylor as a co-defendant in a drug case.

...which, if true, could possibly be a lie to protect the state from a wrongful death claim.

It seems relevant to a lot of people here, and anyone arguing there was a racial or ideological component to this. If you agree lethal response is still justified if the tables are turned that's fine. I'm just trying to weed out any biases or double standards, and seeing if people are coming to conclusions objectively or subjectively.

It depends. If i was in his shoes I would not.

I think I'm gonna move to another thread for now because some individuals here can't have a mature debate without invoking strawmen and ad hominem attacks, see ya

Y'all seem pretty triggerred at the moment.

if the tabels were turned and it was a bunch of right-wingers chasing a member of antifa down who was protecting private property(lulz) then sure he would be within his rights

it comes to this: A armed good samaratan was trying to protect private property and was armed for his protection, they attempted to disarm him which presents reasonable cause for lethal defense, and it ends their.

Thank you for providing the sources, genuinely appreciated. I read through the articles and they don’t seem to support your assertion of the kid hunting down protestors or being there for the sake of starting trouble. He claims he has the rifle for the sake of protecting himself and draws more attention to his first aid kit, indicating that his intent was to help people injured during the protests. Also, your link for the claim of “hunting protestors” mainly just talks up the background of those shot, it says next to nothing about Rittenhause.

tf would you assume they wouldn't. They're following you while you're trying to retreat. Who are they to try to disarm you to begin with?

Arguing from a Marxist perspective =/= talking about white supremacy.

and if they DID know what happend then they would all be accessories to attempting to kill Rittenhause.


And say they shot and killed Kyle under this belief he was a murderer on a shooting spree. Would they have been just as justified?
