Last night the rioters in Kenosha found out that some people aren’t willing to just stand back and let them have their way. It seems that a group of rioters were planning on burning down another car dealership, but at least one (presumed) owner or employee was willing to stop them. in this case, with a rifle, probably an AR-15. As a result, two are dead, one injured. The videos in the tweets below are both informative and explicit in that it shows a guy dying on the ground with a head wound. What’s also shown is the *extreme* irony of these “we hate cops” rioters yelling out “call the cops!” when one of theirs is gunned down.

As I understand Wisconsin law, they have “Castle Doctrine” which means that a home or business owner has no duty to retreat in the face of an invading aggressor, but can shoot to kill in order to defend themselves, other people, their home and their stuff. Which, if the shooter here is an owner or employee, would *seem* to indicate that this should probably be considered a legal shooting. Which should have an interesting effect on the rioters if they know that they can get a lead pellet to the brainpan anytime they screw around on private property.

I’ve put the vids after the break. So click to see ’em or don’t.

This appears to show the moment of the shooting itself. Note that what it shows is that the presumed shooter was *attacked* before the shooting starts… someone tried to set him on fire with a Molotov cocktail. Alternatively… it might just be a plastic bag catching the light such that it *looks* like fire. Shrug.

And here’s the shooting from a different angle, plus the bloody aftermath:

Note that some of the people attending to the gunshot “victim” are themselves armed. So it is conceivable that this was a friendly fire incident.

Here is video from after that first shooting where the mob is chasing the guy down the street and he continues to fire to defend himself before running to the police to surrender himself.
