I can’t disagree with that. This situation reminds me of a statement of Anton Chigur in “No Country for Old Men”: If the rule you follow has brought you to this, of what use was the rule?
I do sympathize to some degree with what he was trying to do, but the boy should have stayed home that night.
What makes them criminals?
Looting, burning, attacking police and civilians.
I think that knowing self defense law would be used as legal defense for a justified shooting emboldened his little tacticool vigilante group, and led to this unnecessary tragedy. And self defense law shouldn’t be used as reasoning to seek out violence.
In my opinion I don’t really see them as criminals if they’re doing it for racial justice. I say it’s justified.
I would have to disagree, they were DARPing. 
The riots in Kenosha were because a thug refused orders to stop and drop a knife, then went to his vehicle and reached in where the police couldn’t see what he was reaching at. There was nothing unjust about that.
They were mostly white, middle-class kids looking to riot. Racial justice was the excuse.
Why was he shot 7 times though? Why not once or twice?
because if he was reaching for a gun, those extra 7 shots are suddenly the only thing keeping the police officer alive.
Looking at the video they could’ve just taken him down or tasered him. Why in the world did those cops just let him walk to his car.
I can’t answer that, but regarding the taser argument - tasers are not guaranteed to stop someone. If you had your gun drawn and someone started rustling around for something else you couldn’t see, you really think you’re going to take the time to see what he has first? Never aim a weapon at something you don’t intend to shoot.
Why did they let him walk back to his car though, they literally could’ve tasered him as soon as he started walking or shot him once or twice. Those two need to lay off the donuts.
He was shot 4 times. He was shot enough times to keep him from pulling out a potential weapon and attacking the police.
They HAD already tasered him. Didn’t work.
If they had shot him for just walking to his car, you don’t think there would have been riots? Like he’s walking out in the open, and clearly not a threat to their life and they just shoot him “once or twice”?
I mean if he’s clearly walking to his car then that’s obviously not a good sign. They still could’ve taken him down with their bodies instead of following around pointing guns at him.
He had a fucking knife.
he was armed with a knife… you do realize every time you’re proven wrong about this that you’re backtracking and finding another route to express how ‘wrong’ it was to do this. Some people do dumb shit in front of cops and get shot for it. This is one of those times.
Oh so they could’ve shot him before he walked to his car since he had a knife.
Or he could have just complied with their lawful commands.
