939.48 Self-defense and defense of others. :: 2014 Wisconsin Statutes & Annotations :: US Codes and Statutes :: US Law :: Justia
I do not buy that you can take a weapon like that into a riot area and make a self-defense argument unless you are law enforcement and are also doing things with the law and other ethical codes on your side. For instance, I cannot see a law enforcement officer shooting rioters as they come out of a store carrying electronics or whatever.
And I give this kid in Kenosha the benefit of the doubt as to why he carried a weapon like that into a riot area.

Binger wanted to make a name for himself at Kyle's expense, a terrible thing to do to a law abiding 18 year old.
It would not surprise me if the prosecution team was investigated for ethics violations, fifth amendment issues, asking witnesses to lie, not producing the jump kick thug who they had identified, providing a much poorer quality video than they had belatedly to the defense and Binger mishandling the AR-15 with his finger on the trigger. Indeed, the index (trigger) finger is now being referred to as the "Binger finger" by many.
