Words from a military paralegal.
#kenoshashooting
I'm seeing a lot of ignorance and misinformation flying around about what happened in Kenosha, and I'm going to set the record straight from a professional legal position... as well as from a former military position.

I'm going to explain some things from a more technical angle derived from my many years as a paralegal and from my experience working in federal criminal justice and prosecution.

Legally, if you are in the process of a commission of a crime, it negates your ability to claim

self defense if you kill someone. As in, it can't even be entered as your official defense in court. It is similar to getting rear-ended at a red light through zero fault of your own, but you were driving without a license or insurance.

Trump just said that the anti-police rhetoric is "unfair" #KenoshaShooting
Trump is now spewing more lies about "antifa" and is saying that all the problems happening are because of democrats
Trump just lied about the end of cash bail in NYC resulted in the release of thousands of inmates who are all out causing crime again. This is not true. FYI the murder rate in NYC this year is about where it was in 2012 and well below all eight years when @RudyGiuliani was mayor.

Kyle was there with a militia but whatever happened leading up to him blowing people away, being chased, and firing blindly into the crowd he was alone. In these other videos, he's alone. This indicates to me that he was looking for trouble going off from his group.

At best he was an idiot looking for kicks wanting to wave his dick around & feel powerful like the pigs he idolizes.
Where was the "militia" he was with? Why is he ALONE with a gun? If he was with the "militia" why does he run to the police & and not back to his group?
You don't just go wander off in this situation; he was looking for trouble & I'd wager he was intentionally instigating...

In 2018, Sheriff #DavidBeth went on a bizarre eugenics rant, claiming that the police’s job should be to stop “these males” from “getting ten other women pregnant & having small children.”

Being in the midst a summer of unprecedented racial and political unrest was apparently not enough to stop Kenosha police from emptying seven rounds into the back of yet another unarmed black man.

This is what the Kenosha County Sheriff said about five African-American shoplifters 2 yrs. ago:

“I think we have to create a threshold where, once you cross the threshold, Wisconsin builds warehouses where we put these people who are no longer an asset."

“I have no issue with these five people completely disappearing. At (this) point, these people are no longer an asset to our community, and they just need to disappear.”

This is where I live.

This happened maybe two miles away.

How this could possibly happen, and the particular brutality of it, given everything that is happening in this country is shocking and deeply telling.

Thank God for camera phones.

Apparently, when it comes to shooting black men, police forces around the country are unable to help themselves.

It's like an addiction.

They keep doing it no matter how much damage it causes individuals, families, their communities, or the nation.

Groups like "Bikers for Trump" which is basically an updated, more public relations savvy incarnation of the Klan, arrived in Milwaukee yesterday to engage in some well staged political bravura / bullying, have stated making their way here.

Should go well.
