He wasn't alone. In fact, not old enough to drive nor old enough to carry a firearm.
- Not Self-Defence
Someone drove that teenager there and he probably got separated from a group of them.
Long rifle easily recognized and they probably chased him because they saw his baby face age and thought he wouldn't shoot or they thought he was an easy target to steal the weapon from.
In the old days, you don't chase someone that's armed with an assault rifle...usually its the other way around. Watch the video, he was surrounded / chased by others in which one hit him with what looks like a skateboard whom had attempted to pull the assault rifle away while Kyle was on the ground
Regardless, looks like those involved had no connection to the community of Kenosha unless they're the friend or relative of someone that lives there. Usually, they are the types of individuals (out of town agitators with no vested interest in the community) that will burn things down and shoot others during riots.
Teenager was untrained and got himself involved in a situation after being abandon / separated by whomever took him there. Thugs in the wrong...Kyle (wannabe thug too) in the wrong.
- Shootings like this typically occurs with someone within a citizen militia that's untrained in urban warfare. The only training this teenager probably had was on some Call of Duty like video game.
No pity nor justification for any of them.
That's the tricky part of urban warfare...you do not know if those approaching you are on your side or a danger to you. Kyle was easily surrounded probably because he was in unfamiliar surroundings / roaming the street and those with skateboards didn't seem initially like a danger...reason why he was easily surrounded and will now spend a good portion of his life (prime years) in prison.
He should have just stayed in Antioch, Illinois to protect his own property instead of crossing state lines to look for a fight in a community he has no vested interest...that too is a thug mentality...not self-defence while out past curfew.
P.S. Green short sleeve shirt, white hat on backwards, purple latex gloves...pot belly with a lunch bag used as an ammunition pouch...hilarious.

This will be decided in a court of law and not the court of public opinion. The real thugs got shot. No sympathy for them. Maybe, other thugs would get the message to stop destroying other people's property, stop threatening other people, stop stealing other people's property. Either they will get the message or they will get shot.
