Do you think he should’ve just drawn on the kid rather than try to dive on him? Seems in the state the shooter was in he would’ve shot him if he had pulled his weapon, not surrendered. Should he have just shot him while he was down? What was tactically the best option? And legally?

I’m not sure whether it’s a weakness or a strength that for someone on the left, the non-lethal option was what he went for. You just know any CHUD would’ve shot first asked questions later, as proven by the fash baby.

    So in Wisconsin, somebody else couldn't have shot the kid, like a bystander who was armed? Specifically because THEY THEMSELVES weren't in danger? Is there any legal recourse for protecting the community at large by taking down a threat? I would GUESS if someone took him out after he fired shots, it would be legal… if they're protecting the larger community, but I have no idea.

      Not according to the case the defense will make. They will say that,despite possesing a deadly weapon illegaly, the kid was justified in his actions. Thus an attack on hin, according to this narrative, renders an attack on him illegal. Not saying its right but this is probably the defense that's going to be used and as far as I can tell, its got a chance because wisconsin's self defense law appears to have a carve out for self defense despite illegal actions. (A person who engages in unlawful conduct of a type likely to provoke others to attack him or her and thereby does provoke an attack is not entitled to claim the privilege of self-defense against such attack, except when the attack which ensues is of a type causing the person engaging in the unlawful conduct to reasonably believe that he or she is in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm. In such a case, the person engaging in the unlawful conduct is privileged to act in self-defense, but the person is not privileged to resort to the use of force intended or likely to cause death to the person's assailant unless the person reasonably believes he or she has exhausted every other reasonable means to escape from or otherwise avoid death or great bodily harm at the hands of his or her assailant)
