I live in SE WI, so I followed the case pretty closely. Kid said he wished he could shoot at people he thought were shoplifting 15 days before he shot anyone, then pointed his gun at people on the actual day of the riots. Rosenbaum started chasing him when he pointed his gun at these two people, he fled then slowed down and shot Rosenbaum before he even got near enough to do anything, and the kid said he saw he didn't have a weapon.
People then chased after an active shooter and said shooter shot 2 more people. Kid should be in prison.
They should've gone after him for unlawful possession of a weapon or manslaughter or something. He had priors related to firearm possession and just hammering down on that and his recklessness as a gun owner probably would've landed him some kind of time. The prosecutor looked like he was like on week 2 of actually being a lawyer. This while trial was a shit show. I'm trying to move out the country in the next decade. Way too many closet racists and overt idiots in close proximity indoctrinated to this perverted idea of "patriotism" is showing me the average white boy (literally) can get away with murder and be called a hero for it. That's a safety hazard. I'm out.
They tried to go after him for the gun charge, but our gun laws in WI are stupid and vague, so it got thrown out. Prosecution could have pursued it, but that would have weakened their case because it would sent the message to the jury that that's the only charge they thought they could win on.
The prosecutor did a great job, the judge was just biased as hell. He's been that way for every "self defense" case.
I wonder what the mainstream media spin will be on the pos that plowed though those people at the Christmas parade? They can't possibly pass on this opportunity to push their narrative. My heart goes out to all those people. Sick fucking times we live in.
I stayed away from all media this weekend with the Rittenhouse result, so I missed this. My coworker who lives in Waukesha and had actually thought about going to the parade with his kid told me about it. Sounds like the cops fired at him which definitely couldn't have helped the situation. Shit's getting crazy around here.
