Kyle Rittenhouse is a divisive figure in the world.  And will continue to be.

But what can we learn from the shooting?  Tactically, how did he do?  Legally, is there anything we could do better?

We need to analyze these incidents as learning tools so that you don’t end up in the same spot.

You may think Kyle did a good job during the shooting, but he is still in jail right now.  And probably will be there for a long time.  The trial could take years and they probably aren’t going to let him out on bail because of the politics around the shooting.

It looks like they will try him as an adult for murder.  He will be sweating his life and freedom for years.  He may end up like Jorge Zimmerman and will forever be on the run from people that want to kill him because of the incident.  And one of those people may succeed and get him in the end.

How can we avoid this?  Was it a good idea for him to kit up and go out?

More importantly, learn from him when you think about kitting up and going out.  I’m not saying you should, or should not go.  I’m saying that you should know all the risks involved and understand what could happen. 

We also go through both shootings and the tactics there.  How could have Kyle avoided both shootings all together?  Is there something he could have done better once the shooting started?

All questions to answer and know before you decide to go or not go.

Kit up and go fight? 

 

Look at it tactically and legally 

 

Tactics 

Avoidance  Stupid places at stupid times with stupid people doing stupid things.  Awareness on point once the fighting started De-Escalation Escape

Timeline of  each choice 

Decided to kit up and show up  Borrowed a rifle  Training he had  Equipment (beans, bullets, badges, bad guys, batteries)  Before the shootings  Emotionally involved  Yelling at someone that is yelling at you  Pissing contest  Arguing with stupid: don’t argue with a stupid person, they will bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.  Shooting incident 1  separated from the group  Running  Things were thrown at him  Shots fired can’t see everything  Phone call  Running away  Shooting 2  Running again with gear on  Falling  People on top of him  Field goal kicker  Skateboard guy  Shooter  stopping power of 556 round  Moving away  Police interaction   Aftermath The rifle is where?  Go home  Calls local police and turns himself in  Talk with a lawyer?

Legally 

Borrowing/loaning a rifle for self-defense  Possession and supplying a rifle to a minor  Being in a large group of armed men to protect property  Stand your ground  Murder vs homicide Murder 1, 2, and 3 and manslaughter   Shooting 1  Not enough video to tell for sure  Item threw at him  The mob itself; ability, opportunity, jeopardy  Innocent people don’t run Multiple incidents shooting 2 Self-defense unless he says something stupid  Mob running after him this time yelling get his ass and other things  Falls down disparity of force  Kick to the head while on the ground  Skateboard to the head  Gun pointed from someone yelling get him  Disengaged for next event  Police interaction  Need help Maybe don’t let them tell you no  Rifle still visible
