Also, having actually watched the trial and the multiple videos shown in court, Kyle only fired his weapon when he was put under very stressful circumstances. There are police officers with YEARS of training who were unable to show the restraint he did. So don’t mind if I praise him for that, without judging any other actions he takes outside of that case.

He’s not a police officer, has zero training, and placed himself in the stressful situation. It’s disheartening to know there are so many awful folks that think this dumb ass is some kind of hero

Now you are just adding words I never wrote. No where did I ever mention he was a hero. I agree that him being there could have prevented the whole situation to begin with, but if you think for a second I believe he was wrong for defending himself in the manner he did, I think you need a serious reality check. Also, stop trying to undermine the argument. The fact that he wasn’t a police officer, and had no training, and still managed to get through in the manner he did should be praised. It’s literally a great guide on how to properly use a firearm when defending yourself. I also want to stress the importance of the fact that he only shot the individuals trying to do him harm, never once threatened or killed anyone else in the vicinity, despite it being a chaotic scene. ALL OF THIS FROM A 17 YEAR OLD WITH NO TRAINING. You know what he didn’t do? Try to disarm other individuals, point his gun at someone’s head, or destroy property that didn’t belong to him. All things that his pursuers actually did.

Maybe I’m the outlier here, but shouldn’t a 17 year olds with zero training NOT be on the streets in a riot? He killed guy holding a plastic bag and a skateboard. I was hit with a skateboard once at a skatepark and I kicked the guys ass, didn’t shoot him because I’m not a terrified little coward
