Mr IDGAF says:

Watch the entire footage. Not clips. Self defence 100%.

Christopher Walken says:

We all saw in the videos that Kyle was the one running away from the attackers…Clear case of self-defense.

Junaidi Salam says:

not a single day without shooting in the Land of the Free, Home of the Brave.
Feel Free to own a Gun, Brave enough to use it.

FJB and this man reporting the news.

Gar Gantuan says:

FASCISM: Fascist protestors tried to use violence to hurt and intimidate Kyle.
FREEDOM 2A: Kyle defended himself from real fascists with the right to bear arms.

My speculation is this is just a highly impressionable naive happy-go-lucky kid (not even 18 years old and probably hasn't even been laid yet) living in a predominantly Trump "boot licking" community who likely racked thousands of hours with an Occulus VR first person "shoot em up"; playing violent video games from dusk to dawn. Loves to play paintball and laser tag too. Goes hunting with his favorite uncle who showed him his first pornographic material at age 12 and helped him shoot his first deer too. (Photo that he proudly displays on the wall in his bedroom alongside the hook where he hangs his MAGA hat) Became overly excited and eager with teenage hormones racing at the prospect of joining a real live militia to go against the evil- bad democrats (as they invariably brainwashed him with on a daily basis) With excitement so great he could hardly contain himself; he is more than willing to cross state lines 30 minutes away to live out his ultimate fantasy/dream UNDER THE GUISE OF "maintaining law and order" (as Trump loves to state) and help the police who look the other way and play dumb so he can become a "PATRIOT" and win the admiration of his community and Trump too ….and the rest is history.— So now 2 people are dead.

Kyle should be given a medal or some kind of recognition for his community service. He's another victim of the insane left. Fortunately he's still alive.

mcaddicts says:

It was self defense. Anyone with a brain can see that.

gruntydatsun says:

If by men you mean assailants then yes. I've seen the full uncut video when it happened and watched your ilk try to destroy a better quality man.. You are not wearing beautiful robes. You are nakedly dishonest and unashamed. Appalling.

Andro dibox says:

He killed two white supremacists

Bob White says:

The actual restraint that Kyle displayed in the video was probably better restraint that most LE would have used. Most In that heat of the moment would have done a mag dump on a number of those perps.

Xavier Ortiz says:

its only legal when Alec Baldwin does it

Duncan McCockiner says:

The prosecution made a really good case for self defense.

H the guy says:

Let's go Kyle!

Nate Sanders says:

It's hilarious how much of the prosecutions opening statement the media isn't mentioning. They are riding on one statement of his longwinded opening. This was clean cut self defense.

samuel reese says:

Self defense is not a crime. Republicans are cowards for not being all over this. Muh good guy with a gun, they say. That's Kyle.

Morbius21_21 says:

Prosecution stated Kyle was the one chasing Rosenbaum aka "victim" 1, where in the hell is that on video? Kyle is clearly the one trying to flee that dude

Angie Baby says:

Did yall hear it, after the defense gave opening statement, when Binger dropped his uterus?

Valentino G says:

this clickbait video title has got to be a joke, lol

Fernando Silva says:

you people are very ill. attacked my ass. that kid shouldnt have even been there. it wasnt his state oif residence. i understand he had someone purchase that gun for him while he was a minor which makes him illegal to have a firearm. that self defense should be thrown out the door because he clearly went to a state he doesnt live in and participated in a protest that he knew would put him in danger. he went there because he knew he had a gun. had he didnt have a gun i bet anyone his ass would have not been present there. to the people who praise his actions…. know wonder we live in a country that is on the brink of falling apart. that way of thinking there to me is very irresponsible and i hope you arent parents. god help if thats the case. he shot a person in their back! anyone shot in the back…. that is anything but self defense its obvious that person isnt a threat…
his character is very disturbing, he has a problem with behaving himself and his priors should make this decisions prior to this case should make this a simple case. he is on a path of madness and he will hurt another person if they dont put him away now. maybe he hurts one of your loved ones in the future. If he is not punished…. that is what the meaning of white privilege is… if this kid was brown or black with those priors. he would be half way to the electric chair. this here is the main reason people dont get along in this country. because even though it is said by god all men created equal. that not the case here. you white folks continue to feed a monster and are not understanding that you are doing nothing to preserve man and this country. i am against any person killing another. no person has the right to expire anothers life, unless that person has taken someone… lets be mature about this. the kid had no reason to be there.

Conor Roush says:

He took out 2 communist! He did nothing wrong!

TheMursenary says:

The prosecutor in this case should be ashamed of himself

Jam McNeely says:

the only person who killed anyone was ran down and assulted and had a gun put on him, after putting out a fire.
