If I'm going to get all the notifications, I'm going to put the facts and the law at the very top:
- In every shooting, he was not only in reasonable fear for his life, but showed remarkable restraint. E.g. not shooting jump-kick guy.
- He didn't take the rifle over state lines, he got it there.
- Open carry is legal in Wisconsin.
- He was not threatening anyone. Court decisions have ruled that showing a firearm does not itself constitute a threat.
- The judge threw out the "violating curfew" charge because there's insufficient evidence to believe a curfew was in place.
- Being in those circumstances does not take away his right to self-defense.
- "Vigilantism" is not a crime.
- You can debate whether or not he was wise to be there, but stupidity is not a crime.
Some people have said they don't want to live in a world that encourages vigilantism. Well, I don't want to live in a world where Antifa/BLM leftists get to cause mayhem because they're mouthing the right slogans. I don't want to live in a world where a "rioter's veto" determines the outcome of trials. I don't want to live in a world where rioting is so accepted that defending against it is viewed as aberrant. I don't want to live in a world where self-defense is so circumscribed as to be rendered irrelevant. And all that is what the left ultimately wants.
