    Thanks. Didn’t know it came out like that. Let’s see if I can do it right this time.



    Damn, dude.  Dark Humor.
    But much as I hate to admit it, it did make me laugh!

    So Rand Paul was harassed by a group of people after the RNC. They were chanting “say her name” at him in regards to Breonna Taylor. 

    https://twitter.com/bgonthescene/status/1299217655816216576?s=21

    In June, he introduced the “Justice For Breonna Taylor” bill that would prohibit no-knock search warrants.

    Absolutely laughable. And I get mocked for linking nypost articles, like any of these partisan outlets are any better. “Fiery but mostly peaceful”. Disgraceful

    There was a hail of gunfire, but overall “mostly peaceful”

    In most cases I would agree, but I have a hard time having empathy for someone that has a “sexual assault of a minor” history.  
    What are the odds that all three random people shot in that group have nasty criminal records?  Bunch of deplorables out there that night...all around.  And the criminal with a handgun that got shot in the arm is going to have some “splainin’’’ to do.  Could be interesting to watch him get grilled on the witness stand.

    "The most serious charge, first-degree intentional homicide, is punishable by life imprisonment."

    Hopefully the parents that armed their 17 year old for battle get some stiff penalties too.  It was what seemed like an extreme trailer park brawl taking place out there.

    Was trying to find what the 6 charges are and found this: "Under Wisconsin law, anyone 17 or older is treated as an adult in the criminal justice system"

    He likely will face those charges as an adult. I'm not sure how the system works out there, but here in Pennsylvania, the juvenile probation office would request a "Certification Hearing" to "certify him" up to adult court. The JPO office would argue why they think he should be certified, and his defense attorney would argue against it. It'd be a pretty easy case to certify given not only his age, but the nature of the offense, and fact that he drove some distance to get there. The defense attorney will make some sort of mental health argument and request an evaluation. It won't help his case though. He very much knew what he was doing. 

    Edit: Well this is all moot considering Mace's post above stating "Under Wisconsin law, anyone 17 or older is treated as an adult in the criminal justice system."

    I’m thinking that the weapons charges will stick.  The 1st degree intentional homicide, I’m not sure.  Still surprised we haven’t heard more about charges of “contributing to delinquency of a minor” or something similar on the parents.

    I'm pretty cynical any murder charge will stick to this kid as well.

    Well the argument that I've been making suggesting he will be convicted is that he broke several serious gun laws. So if you're breaking gun laws, and you end up shooting and killing someone, maybe that can be murder because you shouldn't have had the gun to begin with.

    The argument his defense attorney will certainly make is that in both shootings, at least by the videos I've seen, the person he shot was aggressively charging at him. Let's be real, that's probably exactly what he wanted. And he might have even verbally provoked an attack in hopes he'd have a reason to shoot. But that's unclear at this point.

    At what point is a person allowed to fear for their life and be aggressive toward a vigilante with an AR or other long rifle? Especially someone that fits a profile of a white domestic terrorist school shooter type?
