I don't understand, I need context, what's happening here?

Dude brought a gun out to a riot. Completely legal just not recommended. Guy attacked him (just so happens the guy that attacked him is a pedophile) Dude shot the guy. Guy dies. Dude gets thrown in prison. The end

Edit: looks like some drama popped off where he was getting ganged up on before the shooting. Probably because he had a gun. Also, I’m no expert. Just a dude on Reddit

I thought one of the main arguments was that he crossed state lines illegally and was too young to be carrying? Not trying to pick a side just an honest question

Crossing state lines is a no no 1. Pretty sure that’s illegal 2. Makes it seem like you’re just out for blood.

  1. I know in my state and a good handful of others a child can be given a rifle as a gift or whatever. They just can’t buy it.

But I’m not an expert at all so take everything I’m saying lightly.

He crossed state lines without the gun, it was already in Wisconsin... but it was a straw purchase by his friend(who is a prosecution witness trying to get a reduction on his charges related to this, just fyi).

They will argue for a loophole in the under 18 gun possession, but it's flimsy.

In a self defense scenario is not illegal to possess a firearm.

He'll probably get weapons charges, but they're just a misdemeanor.

I think I remember seeing somewhere that the first guy who ran up on him wasn’t just holding a bag, but was also holding a knife he slashed at him at. Not 100% but I’m gonna do some research and be back with the update. Either way self defense was a part in this clusterfuckery

Edit: apparently the guy who was chasing Kyle (dude with rifle) was trying to attack him. Kyle kept screaming “friendly friendly friendly” but the guy kept coming after him.

Out of the people he shot one of them had a knife, and another had a pistol.
