"Our understanding of the events............" like Foxsports understands

It may have happened, I'm just a bit skeptical of the way she was talking to the kids as if it was a fact.

Mummy drove him across state lines with a killing machine. He then walked among BLM protesters, apparently not in a provocative manner. ~~ Aquitted of all charges based on the doctrine of self defence.


I wonder what would have happend if he was brown or worse, did not share a mainstream religion.

The problem is not that he got off, the problem is the pervasive gun culture that allowed, even actively encouraged him to rock up, play vigilante with an assault rifle, shoot some merkins, and then enter a plea of self defence.

Agree with the f**ked up country gun laws bit, but also appalling how the little white boy was deemed to be the innocent party.

Cant say i know enough to pass judgement either way, but ive seen a little bit about this. I would say clearly an imbo for being there, but so were all the imbos he shot. I believe one of em pointed a gun at him too.

My impression is a dumb kid who is just slotting into americas stupid mixed up culture

Think its pretty dumb to be passing categorical judgement from where we are sitting.

His successful defence was that he (Kykle) shot and killed an unarmed person because he was afraid the unarmed person would become an armed person by taking an armed person’s (Kyle) gun away from him and not be an unarmed person anymore and, consequently, a threat to the now unarmed person. So self defence.

In this country self defence works provided that their actions are a reasonable response to the circumstances as they perceive them.

I also think it is reasonable to suggest that his actions by planting himself in the middle of a kerfuffle with an ak47 was provocatory itself, which flips the notion of blame.

Anyway, my original point was that a brown person would not have gotten of in the USA and I stand by that.
