Have people not been arrested for planning acts of domestic terrorism? He was part of an active Facebook group that had comments of shooting protestors, and he was given a firearm. Is this not planning an act violence? Seems like it. Is it really self defence if there was pre-meditated violence? He went there after posting with the group and allowed the group to arm him. I think there's more to the case of why hes there to begin with and if it really is self defense. I agree with everyone here that the shots themselves were defensive, but again like others said is it really self defense. Well see what the jury decides.
I would have to do some digging but I bet there's been similar cases in the past with those engaging in radical online groups and possessing the means to carry out violence via the acts described in those groups.
As far as I am aware there is zero evidence he was planning an act of domestic terrorism.
joining a facebook group where someone else said something spicy is not Kyle planning violence, no.
Putting a kid in jail for defending himself on the grounds that he joined a facebook group where someone said they wanted to shoot a rioter would be an act of injustice.
From my understanding the lawsuit about that fell apart as there was no evidence Kyle was even in that group.
The group did not arm him. His friend bought a gun for him.
the Rittenhouse terrorist militia narrative is fake news.
I think its important and not a coincidence that he only shot attackers who posed an active threat to his life and showed restraint not firing at anyone else even as an angry mob was descending upon him.
