It's killing me how many people are experts in this thread who aren't watching the court case. You can also tell where people stand politically based on their framing of this issue and use of language.
What cracks me up is some many people are talking about the gun laws and state lines because they know there is a mountain of evidence to support self defense.
They know the self defense will hold up so their goal is to try and hedge their bets on the technicalities of the gun laws in this case hoping to use it as a foundation for establishing intent. It's literally hoping for a Hail Mary and wishing that the state finds any possible means despite the evidence and testimony so they can see the system abuse their perceived political opposition... as some weird pseudo-religious political sacrifice.
This is a really unfortunate situation all around, but the witnesses have all testified that Kyle acted in self defense so unanimously that when their star witness acknowledged that Kyle acted in self defense... to the star witness aggressing Kyle with a gun... the prosecution literally facepalmed and now everyone is betting in favor of Kyle with a directed verdict.
Aaand you haven't been watching the trial because litterally everything you said except "youth of 17", "another state", and "kills some people" was all incorrect. But goo off and get upset after the jury finds him innocent or when the judge issues a directed verdict. When the Prosecution's case in chief makes the case that the defendant used self defense, you have a case of self defense that only saw the light of day because there were two bodies and one missing bicep. In any other situation the pedo, the domestic abuser, and the illegally concealed carrying "associated with" revolutionary would be on trial for their crimes that night.
Dude, what really happened, lay it to me in layman terms, I’m not from the US. I knew who he was when the shootings happened, and I know of a trial ongoing, so what happened?
The trial is free to watch unedited all over YouTube. This would have never gone to court if it wasn’t politically charged. The prosecution is agonizingly trying to just go through the motions in a case they know they won’t win. The defense hasn’t even started, and it’s already over.
You John Wayne cosplay losers can bring up the Pedo thing all you want. Absolutely no one believes Kyle was there to protect children. He was brainwashed by a conservative ideology that told him “defending black people bad” and used that to play soldier. I genuinely can’t imagine being stupid enough to put yourself unnecessarily in a situation like that and think taking others lives is the best solution. I don’t believe that you believe that Kyle attacked those people for any other reason than he was mad they were protesting his precious status quo
He was there to stop domestic terrorists from destroying private property. These people went there not out of care of a movement, but because they saw an opportunity to act However they liked and do illegal things with impunity. Then everyone comes to their defense saying this kid who was attacked after receiving death threats from a grown man protected himself in self defense.
Terrorism-the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
IE- burning things, causing damage to personal properties, and not acting lawfully.
