That is a tough call. You try to kill me, all bets are off at that point.
I agree. I don’t agree with absolutes like, “Only a loser shoots someone in the back.” That type of mindset could get one killed thinking they’re doing the right thing.

Same thing, legally speaking. It is no more illegal to ask someone what they are doing in the area than it is to ask for the time.

We agree…my comments were based on this incident where Rosenbaum was armed with a plastic bag.
Thankfully, most violent ■■■■ bags like him think they’re tough enough to do what ever they want without much else. Those are the feral types of people who will stab you in a sucker punch fashion. The world is better off without him no matter what happens to Rittenhouse.

He ran after him pursuing him…Is that not a threatening action?
You beat up a lot of joggers? Besides, given the time line and the locations, he had to have come back to run into him. And no, it is not legal to beat someone if they run toward you. But especially not if you already lost them and circle back to do it.

Ok man, you’re jumping through hoops here trying to make your point. Obviously somebody jogging behind you is a lot different than somebody running after you, and searching for you after you lose them. But you know that.
Life is not a John Wayne movie.

I conceded that point to six. Did you know Rosenbaum was shot in the back?
It doesn’t matter.
Fear of your life and shooting someone in the back is not self defense.
It can be. Show the law.
The human body does funny things in split seconds. Dynamic.
It’s not about law for me. I figure he will be acquitted for the two charges. Just kind of surprised by the details. I see them as things that make you go hmmmm.
What’s it about for you?
How do you know someone is looking for you, after you lose them?
Clearly something happened behind those cars that we will never know. Shooting an unarmed person in the back is pretty lousy. It doesn’t matter how you parse it.
The bottom line is the kid should never have been there armed. His mother failed him and it’s ridiculous she’s not bearing some responsibility.
You’re assuming.
That is the evidence that was presented in the trial today. My assumption has nothing to do with it.
