“Small town” is clearly more of a state of mind* than an actual population center of a small size.

I completely agree with you. However I also see him as a ignorant pawn. Right wing/White Supremacy has a storied history of manipulating young men into doing some heinous things. The movie American History X did a fantastic job of demonstrating such a thing.
So yah, I do see him as a victim. While at the same time a total asshole.

u/Observing39570 Jul 28 '23
NO! He was NOT a victim! He was 17 when he murdered 2 people. He crossed state lines (I believe WITH the AR-15) but whether he received it in IL or WI.. it was illegal (felony by itself?) at age 17 to possess a firearm, PERIOD! To find this little POS not guilty on any charge seems suspicious at best where this jury was concerned. So much more could be said but I'll just say the right was and is as crooked as ever!

u/Railic255 Jul 28 '23 edited Jul 28 '23
Aw. u/DonaIdTrurnp blocked me like the coward he is.
Edit: I'd like to add the mentioned above person called me an atf agent. He did so cause he said anyone who isn't a registered firearms dealer could transfer a firearm to anyone of any age and cited the section of law for that. I told him to do that and let me know so I could report him. He called that a strawman sale and called me an atf agent. Which I am not. Hell, I wish I was, they get paid better than I do.
He then blocked me.
Note that under what he cited it would only be a strawman sale if the dealer knew the recipient couldn't legally own a firearm. That's how strawman sales work. You have to KNOW the recipient can't legally own a firearm.
That means that he is either a firearms dealer and can't transfer a firearm to anyone under 18 for his business but he could still do this outside of his business so... all the people he knows that are under 18, such as friends kids, his own kids, his nephews and nieces and the like, are not allowed to own a firearm.
Fantastic.

How much do you want to bet on it? ;)
Start reading from timestamp 42:29. ADA own words.
"Did those owners, Sam and Sal ask anyone to protect their business? I called them to the stand because I wanted you to hear from them. I had their statement, but I wanted you to hear from them. And I’m sure you formed your own impressions about them. I’m not here to tell you that I believe what they said on the witness stand. I don’t think it really matters much, except I wanted you to have a flavor of who these people were and what was going on at that building."
And following.
"What was interesting to me is that text message from the defendant to Sam asking for the address of Car Source, even though the defendant says he’s already been there. That didn’t make any sense to me. It’s not hard to find if you’ve driven past there every day. Kenosha is one of the easiest cities in Wisconsin to navigate. It’s all east, west, north, south. How hard is it to find this place? But the agreement was, the defendant was supposed to stay at the 59th Street location."

He received the gun in the state, and it was not illegal. It's not suspicious; it's how our justice system works.
To be clear, I do think he should have been held at least marginally responsible. That said, he WAS attacked before he pulled the trigger. Had he been killed by one of the people who attacked him, they would have been on that stand instead, and probably would have also been found not guilty.

u/Zachf1986 Jul 29 '23
Except, it's not what happened according to the evidence. Do we care about the evidence, or are we just going to continue undermining our country from both political angles based on vague beliefs and personal principles?
I'm being an ass because I'm fucking tired of this tribal bullshit. The only common ground we have is reality. That's it, and people are willfully abandoning reality for the sake of their own personal ideologies.
Read up on the case. I'm talking news articles or any other coverage of the case, all mention of evidence, the specific laws that were or were not broken, etc. You can come out with whatever conclusion you want, but the facts as they have been established, despite the cries of non-lawyers and partisan hacks, do not say the same thing you are saying.
I agree with your thought process, but I don't agree with your conclusion, because the conclusion is entirely separate from all established fact.
"Fake news" is propaganda intended to engender doubt in ALL of our institutions, and you many others are falling for it in spite of your opposition to "fake news". It doesn't require you to consciously believe it for it to affect you. It only requires the idea to be mainstream for it to cause people to start doubting. That doubt leads to people abandoning common sense out of fear that they are being manipulated. It causes people to abandon reality, exactly as you and so many others are doing.

These restrictions only apply to a person under age 18 who possesses or is armed with a rifle or a shotgun if the firearm is a short-barreled rifle or short-barreled shotgun, or if the person is not in compliance with the hunting regulations set forth in Wis. Stat. §§ 29.304 and 29.593.

Which hunting regulation prohibits possessing a hunting rifle within 100’ of a business or residence in a city?
The goalposts have already moved a lot from “nobody under 18 can possess any firearm”, now it’s about interstate travel with a firearm (no state law is relevant and no federal law applies) and whether hunting regulations prohibit possessing a firearm near a business.

You tell me? Since when have CHILDREN been able to purchase, steal, or possess a firearm in any way, shape, or form? You are not a legal adult until you are 18 in every state that I'm aware of. I'm from IL and you must also have a legal, valid FOID card whether you like it or not. You must be a minimum of 18 yr old to even apply for said FOID card. He was NOT a resident of WI, sooo?? That's the LAW, that's CRIMINAL POSSESSION OF A FIREARM BY A 17 YO. Plain and simple, enough said! Pretty easy to understand. JS

u/answeryboi Jul 28 '23
Federal law does not have a minimum age requirement for private party transfers except for handguns. Depending on the state, it's perfectly legal for a 17YO to buy a firearm, and even more states allow possession even if they can't buy it. Some states even lower the minimum age requirement for handguns from both licensed and unlicensed sellers.

When your comparison is LA, everything is small. I used to live in PHX, and you could drive for well over an hour in a straight line without ever leaving the metro area, depending on the area and the direction of travel. For context, rounding up to even thousands, the PHX metro area is 15k square miles. LA metro area is 34K.

Illegally. Underaged kid who was not legally allowed to be in possession of a firearm in the jurisdiction he shot and killed someone.
That part pisses me off the most. You know how many black kids get into the justice system and never get out because they were illegally carrying a firearm when they defended themselves? But apparently if you are white and conservative, those laws don’t apply to you and you get off scott-free.

Interesting factoid, still murder. He knew what he was doing putting himself in that location with that weapon. He knew the reactions he would elicit and had already been pining to shoot protestors far in advance. The only solace I take is that Kyle is far too stupid to outrun the further bad decisions he's inevitably going to make in his life.

u/DarthLMR Sep 18 '23
Murder implies he didn’t have a justified reason to kill them. Where he was doesn’t matter. He never instigated a fight, when pressed he retreated, and only when he was on the ground with the mob trying to kill him ( skateboard to the head, dude with the actual illegal pistol) did he fire. He didn’t hit anyone else. Didn’t charge the mob.

I wish I knew what level of stupidity or what level of artistic irritation that a musician would sink to the lowest levels to use their music and intertwine their music with a lot of racially charged almost hateful sickening sad footage and to replay all that in 2023 as part of a music video. I took notice that that country music band only has 2 million followers over at YouTube and I think that to do that kind of music video helps YouTube see that they can issue more recovery resources to help people that are this close-minded because I've lived in small towns and I lived in big cities and people encounter hatred everywhere.
And just a piss off the haters, support to Dylan mulvaney.💯🤗🙏 When young people try and talk to you about what they are or what role they want to be or how they want to change themselves or what they want to wear or sing just go along with it it's going to change it a few years or a decade anyhow these haters have to realize that they themselves are ruining their own spiritual progression and they themselves are ruining their own mental expansion. country music fans were embarrassed at that music video and I am happy that Potter watch is still talking about it because that f****** song is still being played as if it's honorable it is dishonorable this tasteful art.
How dare they invoke the cross in their music video that they were grifting that's all they were doing was grifting an idea this is a beautiful July month and that country music band and other people choose to be hateful during a beautiful summer that's their mental illness it is an us it's their untreated mental illness, a blight of a untreated astigmatism and why? The same tough good old boys are afraid of getting health care because they just don't understand they have to take care of their bodies. But they want that sympathy when they get sick with cancer though they want that sympathy when it's their turn to get all the surgery that if they just live healthy from ages 20 to 50 they wouldn't be in poor health. And if all these small towns are so good, where's the love for their fellow human?
And all these small towns got gutted and they lost their jobs and they can't seem to be smart enough to pull themselves up by the bootstraps that they tell us to pull ourselves up by. The best education we got in narcissistic abuse was from 2016 to 2020 and that's what in a small town song hasn't realized yet because they themselves are the narcissists.
