Generally speaking, if in the US, you kill someone (no matter the reason) during the commission of a crime, you will be guilty of murder.
An example not related to this case at all. You are driving a car, you are unlicensed, while driving through an intersection where you have a green light, another driver runs a red light and hits you and they die in the process. In this case you would be guilty of vehicular manslaughter.
The logic behind this, is even though the other driver caused the crash, because you were on the road illegally, you actually caused the crash. This is due to if you had been following the laws (not driving) you would not have been in a car, at that location, at that specific instant, and thus no collision would have occurred.

If an aggressor shows up carrying a gun and kills people, it's hyperbolic to claim self defense. He arrived willing to kill.
but that’s not what happened.

christopera said:
If a person shows up ready to chase a person with a gun, are they attempting suicide? No, that was hyperbolic. They were likely aggressors too.
in this case they were the sole aggressor

Kyle wasn’t the aggressor, you’re purposefully muddying the waters with this fake scenario.

and one aggressor kills two other aggressors through the use of gun, that doesn't suddenly exempt the killer based on self defense.
But that didn’t happen.

The scenario has already moved past that point.

There's no hyperbole in that statement. If you bring a gun to a gun fight and kill somebody, it is murder.

It was self-defense, it is on video.

Apologies, you are correct, I forgot an important distinction, the reason the driver was unlicensed was because it was revoked. Otherwise you are only committing a civil infraction and not a criminal one. My bad, that's a very relevant distinction to make.

That's in AZ. Is it country wide?
I mean, morally speaking, if one is in possession of a deadly weapon (car/gun/bomb/nuclear missile) without the proper authorisation/tests/etc, then I believe they should be responsible for any harm that comes from using it.
That's morally though - not legally.

I think the whole case is going to hinge on did he bring the rifle from Illinois, or did he get it in Wisconsin. This has to do with specific Wisconsin gun law, that while it was illegal for him to possess the firearm underage, the same section of Wisconsin law makes it clear that that it is still legal to defend oneself with said weapon even if he was possessing it underage.
This situation changes dramatically if he crossed state lines with the rifle. It's important to know that as of this moment he has not been charged with transporting a weapon across state lines.

I wonder if he was under the impression that the "shoot me, nigga" video took place much closer to the time of the shooting. Rosenbaum arguably did seem to be in a suicidal kind of headspace.

I don’t know enough about the intracacies of wisconsin gun law to have an opinion of how it will unfold.

the concensus seems to be he didn’t.

Will be interesting to see how this case plays out regardless. I mean we can argue till we are blue in the face, but it will come down to law, juror selection, and jury instruction. Time will tell, that's for sure.

Fact is there's been plenty of shootings that were far more justifiable than Kyle's were, and those people still went to prison.

Its right there in the defense statement he didn't cross state lines with the gun.
