Also this part:



I'm sure the guy started an argument with the purpose of shooting these teens.

He's being lawfully detained while they investigate. I'm sure he'll be released shortly.

Yeah I realized after what he was getting at. That would seem a huge stretch to me.

Being in a situation where you have to shoot someone to prevent your own death is never good.

However, from the details present in the article it looks like a justified shooting in self-defense.

The only way it could be murder is if the shooter planned to provoke a group of kids into beating him up with a baseball bat so he could shoot them... um yeah.

Also one of the teens presumably fled or possibly was held at gunpoint until authorities arrived. Indicating to me that the shooting stopped when the threat to his life was ended.

Unless some shocking details come out the article is describing an act of self-defense.

Would your opinion change if you knew the shooter had an extensive felony criminal record? I am betting the shooter has a record and that is why they are holding him. If he has a record, he can't legally have a gun. If he can't legally have a gun, he ultimately can be charged and imprisoned for that.

You probably should have said in the OP that you wanted to speculate hypotheticals. As it stands you asked about the merit of the case and haven't really discussed any of it.

I can't remember, did we decide that bshole = ausm?

If ausm is a devastatingly handsome man with a gorgeous blonde wife and two beautiful children, if ausm scored 3 touchdowns in one glorious high school football game (one of them being an interception run back), if ausm was the most popular kid in his high school, if ausm is a software wizard, if ausm is all these things then ausm is me. Heres a hint, he isnt!

Quit talking about me in an attempt to hijack the thread and concentrate on the topic.

Outnumbered, restrained, and being assaulted with a deadly weapon?


Completely justified.

No, I was thinking about it more in terms of both of you being brain-dead buffoons from Wisconsin.

Um, this is Wisconsin, we are a little more civilized up here. We do NOT tolerate vigilantes like they do down south.

but not civilized enough to not beat a guy 3 on 1 and use a bat. LOL



from what little we know I will say justified shot.

Meh, I get the troll in me and I just can't help myself sometimes. Sorry about that. I agree with your assessment.

That article told me something interesting. In WI the police CANNOT disclose who had a concealed carry permit.

thats a far cry from NY which publishes them in the newspaper.

So, there were 3 total aggressors, but only 2 were shot? I'd love to know how all that went down, sounds like the old timer was extremely lucky. It's usually kind of hard to draw a gun and fire accurately when people are holding you down and beating you with a large blunt object.

I was surprised by that too. The more I think about it the more I like it.


Wanted to know if there was a female involved or if one of the perps just got unlucky when he was born. Yep, the 17 yr was a girl. http://www.jrn.com/tmj4/news/Police-name-teens-killed-in-double-shooting-250270411.html


Do we have Trayvon/Zimmerman 2.0 on the way now? A guy on the ground fearing for his life had to use deadly force to stop the attack. I guess we'll find out soon if he was white.

Wisconsin is one of the fucked up states without common sense stand your ground laws. Did the murderer try to retreat enough and make every possible means to retreat from his justifiable beating?

Nah, it's clearly a good shoot.

Yeah what a bunch of crap. Making someone who initiates a conflict have to exhaust all possible options if it backfires before they start shooting.

You really are the poster boy for who gun owners should fear when it comes to promoting the cause.

Stand your ground laws typically say you have a duty to retreat if you are the initial aggressor. Nice try though, you clearly know jack shit about self defense laws.

But that doesn't apply in this case at all.

Here is the statute:



Basically I think they are giving exception 939.48(2)(c)(c) a good look over right now.......

Very similar to what other states have. Even if he started the argument, the final point of escalation is what is key. Being held down while being beaten by a deadly weapon (If that weapon was only possessed by his attackers prior to the shoot) pretty much gives him the right to self defense.

As with anything , there may be details we haven't been told yet.

939.48(2)(c)(c) A person who provokes an attack, whether by lawful or unlawful conduct, with intent to use such an attack as an excuse to cause death or great bodily harm to his or her assailant is not entitled to claim the privilege of self-defense.

Are you that thick?

Prosecutor would have to prove intent was there prior to the physical aspect of the fight/escalation... 3 against 1... Highly doubtful.

If this had been done with Trayvon and Zimmerman it may not have exploded as big as it did. I'm all for actually investigating a situation and not just taking a person at their word. At first glance it would appear he was justified in the shooting. But seeing as two people are dead it's probably best they give this more than just a glance.

You can not hold someone indefinitely without charging them. At anytime he can ask if he is being charged and can he go free.
