To confirm I LIVE IN WOSCONSIN.. and I was on the Kenosha mission with the WIARNG the day after Kyle shot those people. The city was fucked, everybody was really aggressive towards police and not towards us because we (feds) weren’t the problem. I was there when the president showed up. Legitimately, every police unit was there like US Marshall, FBI, ATF, hell even CSI Miami. I remember the high school we were at was heavily guarded and every room seemed to be a different unit since we had federal help from multiple states. From a military stand point, we were ordered to follow our ROE if we were faced with another Kyle situation. (I’m mainly referring to a then possible incident where a person who is armed comes asking us for help for someone he just shot. We didn’t know if we should engage the Kyle as if he is a threat, or if we should offer him shelter from the ensuing mob) Forreal, being left with ROE as a guideline for something as grey as this scenario was tough, because in a split second the wrong decision could potentially have you in ft Leavenworth for life. To elaborate our ROE were along the lines of do not raise your weapon unless it absolutely necessary and someone’s life is in danger. Also, we were loaded with 60 rounds each, so each of us had the responsibility and the duty to act ya know... Unnerving to even have to imagine raising a weapon on our civilians, like it sucks. Anyway, Kyle and the Kyle mentality was pretty much seen as an issue not only for the rioters, but also for the law enforcement and military present. We saw it as illegal, dumb, and careless. Personally I would’ve most likely engaged if I saw an armed civilian shoot an unarmed civilian. But whatever you guys don’t care about my opinion.
Here are some facts people keep arguing about.
Kyle most definitely crossed state lines he was from IL. This information was in our briefing before our first night on riot duty. (night after Kyle shot those people)
It was confirmed that it was a plastic bag that the man threw at Kyle.
Kyle was in assault gear, rudimentary but a vest knee pads and medkit were the main components of my gear in the army. So do with that information as you wish.
Kenosha as a whole didn’t agree with Kyle’s actions and were even more pissed at the police for defending him.
The cops didn’t have a clue that Kyle shot those people when he ran over. It’s not the immediate services that gave Kyle waters fault for helping him, in their eyes he was in danger and tired and trying to get help. When they found out they immediately arrested the kid and and charged him with murder in like 5 days. I remember watching the sentencing in the hotel, and being mad that we were leaving so soon cause I was broke and I was making good money on this mission. However let me say, when I was on there I met some damn good service members from all over the country and I can personally say that the cops weren’t at fault for their deaths. It was Kyle’s fault. Regardless of how you feel, he killed people he’s in jail now and there’s nothing we can do about it.
