I'm trying to think what else could come out that would change my mind. So far, YES the shooter is an idiot for being there, but that's not against the law. The video clearly shows him running away and being chased by a man with a weapon intent on killing him (no other way to describe throwing burning gas at someone). So intent is clear, and the shooter is running away. It's only when running doesn't work and the distance has been closed that he shoots. And after that he tries again to get out of there but is again chased by armed men who clearly intend to harm him. And again he waits till they are on top of him to shoot.Shooter wasn’t from Kenosha? I hadn’t seen that, just the videos. Even dumber if he’s from out of state. It’s not far away, but if he went there, just that night, with the firearm, they’re going to have a field day.
My guess is they are charging him because they don't want more rioting. He'll probably go back voluntarily and then released pending trial. Then they will sit on it till everyone is looking at something else and quietly drop the charges.
It sucks but being arrested is probably the best way to keep him alive right now.
