Lawyers also wax poetic about DC vs. Heller. Generally useless class of society.
And this will be the first defender of Kyle on my ignore list.
Yeah, these kind of posters such as keysersöze need to be permabanned for that shit take.

so strange to me that "feeling threatened" in this country allows you to take that persons life. it's fucking mental.
Reminder: After killing several people, he was in a bar celebrating and posing for selfies with people. He does not have a haunting guilty conscience. If he did, he would've plead guilty. There won't be any "oh god what did I do" flashbacks for him.
Save for when he wakes up in a Jigsaw trap and has a small puppet offering him a game.
its not supposed to. in a lot of general circumstances in many states you can only meet harm with the same amount of harm in order for it to be self defense. Obviously the jury did not care about this and I don't think the judge did either.
How is it self defense when you insert yourself in a situation that you have no part in? This white adult baby brought a automatic rifle to shoot people and not to defend. This isn't somebody protecting the rights of anyone and instead is there to take away the rights of people who need it.
Another piece of shit racist white baby gets away with it.

That's probably what made it in to a self defense case, but that's when taken completely out of context. It's insane that even if the murders are ruled to have been done in self defense, that he is not convicted of illegal weapon possession and threatening protestors with said weapon.
No matter how the ruling finds the actual killings to have been done and whatever legal right he might have as a (white) citizen to defend himself, he is nowhere near blameless for two people dying since he came there in the first place to stir up some shit.
It's a travesty that such a ruling is found to be okay in any society, there is so much wrong with what took place and the circumstances behind it, it's quite frankly fucked up that a white boy can take an illegal firearm and murder two BLM protestors without facing any repercussions.
I hope the ruling is overthrown somehow and Kyle rots in prison, cases like this one sets precedent and right now it's telling everyone it's fair to kill people as long as you bring a firearm to agitate them with.
If he were like you or I – someone with a modicum of empathy – then yes, this would be the outcome. He's not though. Posing for pictures while flashing a white supremacist symbol and wearing a shirt that says "free as fuck" doesn't really paint the portrait of an individual that would ever be haunted by his actions in the ways that you described.
He got it in Wisconsin from someone else and judge dismissed possession charges because an exception it does not fit the elements of the original criminal charge (its only unlawful for 17yr old possession of its a short barrelled shotgun or rifle.) one of my earlier posts in the thread cites the specific exceptions.
It's an actual video but was determined to be not fucking relevant. Yup. NOT RELEVANT.
Just admitting he'd shoot some people if he had his gun with him even when he's not under threat. 🤷
Hope something really fucked up happens to him and I get to read about outrage at what happened to him on Fox.
They are really going try their hardest to make a star out of him.

What you see on the outside doesn't always match what's on the inside.
People smile in photos one day, then kill themselves the next and people always come out and say they had no idea they would ever do that.
Like I said man, people who don't have mental issues don't just kill people and not suffer from that. The images of himself taking multiple lives will be burned into his mind till he dies.
As I mentioned earlier, George Zimmerman had that same attitude, seemingly wanting others to know that he's happy with life, but you can see how whether he wants it or not, he is a changed and disturbed person due to what took place and how his ability to live his life as a normal citizen has been taken away, whether he's in a cell or not.
Bold of you to keep assuming he has a conscience and any kind of empathy or remorse. Not sure why you keep insisting on that. Maybe it makes you feel better to think that this guy is sort of suffering, but you're honestly probably deluding yourself.
Edit: what excel said below 👇
Or he's going to not feel any of this.
This is weird ass fanfiction.
Dude is a proud boy supporter who fantasized about shooting "thieves" got to shoot people and walk away from it.
Why the fuck would you sympathize with Zimmerman today of all days
Somehow this is actually less surprising than him being found not guilty.
All it takes is one juror to refuse to convict on the charges.
That is the most concerning part of this when the biggest, most watched news station in the country is also a right wing propaganda outlet that was defending his case from the start.
In this country how are you going to find a jury that doesn't have a single juror that hasn't been significantly influenced by the propaganda flooding all channels of media? Half of the nation views everything as a culture war in which facts are irrelevant

was Kyle supposed to know that? If someone tries to take your gun would you assume it's only to disarm? That's a lot of trust in someone being aggressive towards you. It's a tense situation I don't imagine most people would process what's happening rationally
There is audio of him saying to the effect of him wishing he had his AR15 so he could throw bullets at them (them being looters at the time). IMO on the surface this seems like something that should be in the trial, but then it can potentially also open up the defense to dive in the victims' past which are..sketchy.
I mean I don't think that's reasonable especially since the most likely outcome was that Kyle would shoot the person attempting to take the gun from him which would not be deadly force on the part of the victim but on part of Kyle.
Hmmm. No?
Who told you I sympathise with George Zimmerman?
Jeez.
Maybe he shouldn't have been there specifically to intimidate people with his gun, eh?
Most people wouldn't drive across state lines with an assault rifle to act as a self-appointed cop to lord over a BLM protest.
To be fair, they always had an inside track to do just that. They just needed to become police officers.
You're writing fanfic about a disgusting piece of shit so idk
Please?
Also way to further stigmatize mental illness by implying only crazy people don't have a conscience
I don't. I just honestly think given the way the laws are written and the evidence they had they were fucked from the start. They screwed up, don't get me wrong. But the laws and system are on the side of this type of objectively wrong behavior.
Because you summoned him as if on command to demonstrate how tragic it is for the shooter that they killed someone, how unfortunate their life will be and how mental anguish will follow them for the rest of their lives. Eat ass.
He is so emotionally torn, he is going on Tucker Carlson on Monday. Please someone think of the anguish that the shooter feels.
