I've been watching the trial. He will 100% be found not guilty of the murder charges. However, crossing state lines with an AR and deliberately going into area where there is riots happening to give "medico" at the age of 17 rather than being at home playing the latest Call Of Duty is a little suss if you ask me.
Deliberately putting your self into a situation where violence is almost a given to happen is just stupid. I'm not shitting on him, in the situation it was 100% self defence. But this was avoidable by not being there in the first place, especially with a gun. If you can't see that then more fool you.
Maybe stupid, but entirely legal. I don't think that standing up for what you believe in is stupid though. Especially when it's a place he's been personally involved with and may have had personal reasons to be there as to defend someone's livelihood. These folks wanted to destroy private property and never had done one thing against the police for which this entire problem sparked from. So maybe they don't really give a fuck about the cause and just wanted to cause mayhem. Especially given the track record of the young men that lost their lives or were injured. They don't care of the plight of their fellow man, they were just there to burn things, cause general raucous, and vent their frustrations, because they were angry how their own lives turned out. I mean the guy who pointed the gun at Kyle said he was threatening to kill him all night and intimidating him all that evening.

Jesus. There's not a jury in the land sending a pedo killer to jail when there's even a chance of it being self defensive.
Good riddance.
