I agree that it shouldn’t have happened. The blame however belongs to Rosenbaum who hid in a cluster of cars when he saw Kyle alone, chased after him, and grabbed the barrel of his rifle. This ambush is what caused the “clusterfuck”. It was all caught on video by the FBI, who had aerial surveillance of the “protest”. You should watch that video. It’s also pretty clear that Kyle’s motive was to help people. He offered first aid to people who might be injured. He put out fires. He cleaned up graffiti at a school. If he had gone there to shoot people, he could have saved himself a lot of effort by shooting them on the two prior nights of looting and arson. Oh, don’t forget that he tried to turn himself in to the police just minutes after the shootings. They apparently didn’t believe him, so he went home. The next morning he went to a police station to again turn himself in. That station was in the wrong jurisdiction though, so he sat in the lobby for a few hours while he waited for detectives from the correct jurisdiction to arrive to question him. I don’t think he would have been so insistent on talking to the police if he had gone to Kenosha with the intention of killing people. I find it really sad that people have strong opinions about this case, but haven’t bothered to review the actual evidence and testimony. We have complete video recordings of the entire trial, which is extremely rare. Normally we just get a transcript, but here we can watch the whole thing on Youtube. I especially recommend watching the parts where the prosecution’s own witnesses state that Kyle was defending himself, as well as the two times in a row that the prosecution attempted to violate the defendant’s 5th–amendment right to silence. You might also watch the part where the prosecution asked a witness about evidence that they had already asked the Judge to exclude from the trial. This was pretty hilarious, because it gave the defense an opportunity on cross examination to ask about the psychiatric medications Rosenbaum was supposed to have been taking. I don’t know if that was a key part of the trial, but it was pretty funny to see them make such a mistake; truly that was an unforced error.
