    The reason why Kyle was found not guilty is the same reason why Breonna Taylor’s boyfriend was found not guilty after shooting at police. It’s the same reason why just this week a black man in Florida was found not guilty of MURDER after he accidentally shot and killed his girlfriend when the cops executed a no knock warrant. He also shot at deputies and was a criminal in possession of a firearm. This has nothing to do with race and everything to do with the law. The biggest failure in all of these situations is the government. They failed to stop the riots in Kenosha, they failed to execute a warrant properly which resulted in 2 innocent women being killed.

      Kenosha, too, was burning. Violence on the streets. Democrat authorities standing down the police, media encouraging the riots and calling them "peaceful protests."

I reject the categorization that one exonerates the other, or that if one is wrong then the other is right-they’re not mutually exclusive. The fact remains that his choice to go there in no small part contributed to the events that occurred that night.

      That claim about his mother didn’t bear out in court (trust me I was outraged when I heard the claim, but based on what we learned in the trial that claim about his mother taking him there turned out to be false, and we have no evidence of deception).
      It’s also undeniable that others were exhibiting aggressive and at times violent behavior towards Kyle-we could argue whether they would have done anything to anyone else there and whatnot but at the end of the day, we’ll never know the “what if” (and they could go both ways since they’re completely speculative)-more importantly, as much as I can comprehend the argument that his presence with a gun could be threatening…it doesn’t justify a confrontation, let alone an act of aggression (and while I wonder how dumb one needs to be to play vigilante…it’s equally dumb to me for someone to try to attack an armed person with some bottles and whatnot. It’s actually dumb to attack someone period, but that’s a different issue).
      For me this issue is just beyond the line of the George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin situation. Zimmerman took a firearm specifically to confront Martin on a flimsy suspicion that he had shoplifted…despite clear instructions from 911 dispatch that told him not to and that officers were on the way. He intended to confront his target, not merely be present in the area. It’s this distinction that is what differentiates the two for me-again, stupid choice to go there (and if my repeatedly calling it LARPing doesn’t indicate how ridiculous I think his choices were, im not sure what will), and his decision to go armed shows he was cognizant of the potentials, but that doesn’t give the other people license to instigate a confrontation. While I’d agree that were he not there, he wouldnt have shot anyone-I’d also argue that had the first victim not have done what he was doing (quite plainly on video) the incident would almost certainly not have occurred.

      I agree he didn't murder anyone. But I definitely think he was guilty in the sense that, had he, a 17 YEAR OLD BOY, not driven into a crazy situation with a loaded assault rifle that he had to have a friend hold for him because he wasn't allowed to, that no one would be dead, Kyle wouldn't have had to go through a hellish trial and media storm, and overall everyone would be a lot happier.
      Kyle was not a police officer, he was not a soldier, he was not an EMT: he was a 17 year old boy who willingly put himself into a stupid situation, for nothing. He didn't own businesses or property there, and even if he did, property is NEVER worth shooting someone over...this isn't Iran, in this country destruction of property has a certain punishment, and it isn't capital punishment.
      Do I think he should be found guilty of murder and locked away for the rest of his life for what he did that day at age 17? Absolutely not. Do I THINK he was guilty of at least some sort of reckless endangerment, or, POSSIBLY, the least serious manslaughter or accidental death charges possible in that state (3rd in some states, other states have diff names)? Yes to the first, MAYBE to the second.
      But just to say: what were his parents doing? He bought this gun and had a friend hold it? Did they know about that? Furthermore, did he drive himself, again a 17-year-old boy, into this crazy situation without them stopping him? If they didn't, what is wrong with them? If they didn't know, then why didn't they know? There are protests and some riots breaking out nearby and he disappears and you don't question where he went? If they did find out where he went, why didn't they tell him to get home IMMEDIATELY and get that gun out of his hands? I mean holy shit, they either have no idea what's going on with their child, OR, they're completely irresponsible letting him take himself into an insane situation where he doesn't belong.
      I respect the decision of the jury because I also don't think he was guilty of premeditated murder, or even murder at all (again, MAYBE the least serious manslaughter for the one death, at worst? MAYBE?), but I do think he should've faced some sort of punishment for those irresponsible actions. However, that is the state's (prosecutor's) fault for not bringing the correct charges.
      I am VERY HAPPY HIS LIFE IS NOT OVER AT AGE 17 FOR A STUPID DECISION. However, that stupid decision (to, as a *CHILD* of 17 years of age, go into the situation he did) did lead to death.
      There were no winners here: death, a man who was shot, all of their families, and Kyle too. He has to live with having shot someone, having done something that resulted in someone's death, and all the collateral damage that comes with it. 100% sure he has PTSD from all of it, as well as the person he shot and everyone else there and all the families.
      He had no malicious intent, he had good intentions when he drove out there, I doubt in a million years he thought he would've ended up in the situation he did, but it was seriously wrong and misguided to go there. So again, I just have to ask: why didn't his parents prevent this?
      This was a complete tragedy, and anyone who tried to politicize this should shut the hell up. Kyle didn't want to be some martyr for gun rights (IDK if he is now, but if he is, that's gross TBH), which is why he let his first legal team go as he felt they were more concerned about guns and stand your ground shit than they were with then ensuring he was found not guilty. The legal team he finally went to court with said they couldn't care less about arguing ANY of that bullshit, and that their ONLY GOAL was to ensure Kyle was found not guilty. They succeeded, and I'm glad his life isn't over. But I'm also sad that, because of the foolish actions that he made while still not yet an adult, people were hurt and died.

    Kyle was in medic training through a program! Saying he was a medic isnt a big deal since he was in medic training.

      False. Though I agree with the verdict, a medic in training is not a medic until certified. You're not a police officer until you graduate from the police academy set by local and state standards.

    I think the main fault is on his parents he’s still not forming his own strong morals at this age, and his parents seemed to have supported him open carrying at a protest.

      He was within his rights. Now whether it was smart or wise is another discussion.

      Agreed he ruined his own one life with the decisions he made!! As much as he wanted to help as a 17 year old he had no business being an hour away from home with a gun at a protest defending a stupid gas station !!! Who tf would go to jail for a building?

      @@robertkortright2428 a man would. Look at you disparaging a young man for doing what he thinks is right, and not disparaging the rioters. Shame on you. Since you can't be bothered looking at the facts and evidence. Kyle was offer medical aid to these rioters, his dad lives in Kenosha, he had every right to carry that gun to protect himself - it's our second ammendment right. YOU are ridiculous, and your moral condemnation is so far skewed and perverted that you should sincerely perform some self examination.

      -- that's you, that's your logic. Un-ironically, that's the argument you are making. "What are rights? Why would someone stand up for their rights?" Do you not see how bitter your statement sounds?
