Self defense after running into an unarmed crowd swinging around a rifle?
I'm not going to say he's guilty just yet, but the police charged him with first-degree intentional homicide.
I think it's fair to say the people who believe it was self defense have a lot of explaining to do given the facts as we know them.
- core-questions 6y ago> Self defense after running into an unarmed crowd swinging around a rifle? I'm not a judge, I'm not a lawyer, I'm just telling you a lot of people are mad about this. Apparently a Molotov was thrown at him (have not seen this), and in the video I did see, he was on the ground about to have his face stomped in when he shot. There's an argument for self-defense there; it'll be up to a court to decide, but for now, it's not clear that these murder charges are going to hold up.
- ideals 6y agoHe isn't old enough to carry a firearm so by open carrying the weapon he already committed a felony. By crossing from Illinois into Wisconsin with a firearm he was not legally allowed to carry he committed a felon. Self defense is not likely a position which will apply here.
