Too soon?

Nope.

Agreed. The DA needs to drop all charges against Kyle Rittenhouse, and file charges on the surviving child-molesting felon who was in possession of a Glock, who was trying to kill him.

And Officer Kimberly Potter who accidentally used her firearm instead of her taser...

Did she make a mistake? Yes. Did her mistake rid of one likely another life long criminal we’d be supporting for the rest of his short useless life? Also yes.

This is what will happen:
He will place all blame on the property master/armorer…Alec is a victim here.

He will use this as a pulpit to rail against Hollywood and American gun culture.

Source? Oh please please have a solid source.

I haven't seen whether it was one shot fired or two. Difficult to shoot two people with one projectile. Anyone know, or have a link?

Just looked into it. It looks like it's probably fake.

In that situation some charge is legally (I say legally, because I'm not sure how morally it is) still merited - she *is* a trained professional and her negligence caused harm to another. It would've been different had she *intentionally* shot him - because from what I saw, she probably would've been justified in shooting, not just tazing because he was fighting with officers in the door of his car, jumped in and had the car in gear - he could've drug those officers and run them over. There was a controversial police shooting years ago in Portland, Oregon with similar circumstances. The "victim" was a black female, she was shot and killed by a white male cop she was dragging with her car. The shoot was ruled justified, even in lefty loony Portland. The prosecutor could get her on negligent homicide because it was clear she didn't *intend* to use deadly force, and thought she was using her tazer, not her Glock.

The Potter incident shows why police started carrying the tazer cross draw, or accessible with the non-dominant hand so you don't confuse the zappy zapp with the blasty-blast. Potter wasn't the first cop who accidentally shot a suspect when they intended to go to tazer town.

Rittenhouse had clear cut self defense from a mob that had taken shots at him, was charging him and intent on killing him.

Neither person deserves to spend their life behind bars.

What kind of an idiot is given a gun and doesn't check it to see if it has live rounds in it?

Lot of force behind a primer, when I was a a prisoner of a Colorado winter I cast some .38 wad cutters from hot melt glue.

From a 4" revolver penetrated one side of two cardboard boxes, one inside the other, from 25' - 30'

Did the primers back out? Mine did on my 44 mag wax bullet loads powered by a primer only. I had to drill out the flash holes in the cases so they were a lot bigger to keep the primers from backing out. Of course those cases aren't good for anything else anymore. Mine were used for ripping holes in beer cans from across the room.

Years ago, I reamed the primer pockets and loaded some paraffin/wax bullets in .38 Special backed only with primers. When I missed my indoor backstop, one of the wax bullets went through my sheetrock! Potentially fatal, I'm sure.
